Votelight

An early-stage company founded by longtime IT executive Jeff Pierce and award-winning media-technology entrepreneur David Masher, VoteLight champions civic engagement by offering an innovative tech platform that enables citizens, media outlets, elected officials, local governments, and civic groups to easily communicate with each other over local, state, and national political issues. With VoteLight, users share political issues that are connected to the people and places impacted. By being connected on one easy-to-use platform, everyone can learn about issues relevant and important to them, explore details, and cast their ‘votes’ to be heard, making democracy work for everyone, every day. News media cover and monitor issues efficiently while engaging their audiences and creating new revenue streams, elected officials and governments connect directly with their constituents and citizens, and civic groups can keep their members informed as well as expand reach in a streamlined fashion. VoteLight’s mission is to foster civic engagement in the spirit of democracy by making it easy for citizens to be informed, to be involved, and to make a difference in political outcomes. We have built a robust, mobile-responsive platform accommodating all five user roles, supporting all levels of government (city, county, state, national), and covering all 50 states and Washington D.C. VoteLight is currently offering free pilots for news organizations, local governments, elected officials, and advocacy groups – please reach out to us if you are interested in this program.
