Great roundup of projects! I thought I'd share the work that we did at Taproot Edmonton last year with our People's Agenda project. We collected responses from 67 candidates in our municipal election and matched them with voters who answered the same questions more than 21,000 times: https://blog.taprootpublishing.ca/2021/10/27/thats-a-wrap-on-our-peoples-agenda-project/
Thanks so much for this excellent - and timely - round up Dick. Thanks also for mentioning Chi.Vote. I was part of that collaborative and have been working since to build Govpack, a free, scalable, open source WordPress plugin and data service that streamlines production of election guides and increases access to and transparency around public officials. We have been fortunate to get support from American Press Institute and the Knight Lab at Northwestern University and worked closely with 13 Newspack publishers in preparation for the midterms. I'd love to tell you more 😁
