All Ballots is a
political website which primarily serves to connect voters with
politicians, as well as with each other. Additionally the site
serves as fantastic source of information with registered users
being able to post and update such information as issue stances and
political platforms. The website is similar to social networking
sites such as
MySpace
and
Facebook with,
however, a decidedly political stance. The site's primary goal is
to provide voters an easy way of communicating with their political
leaders, while also creating better informed voters.

Features & Usage
Site users may search for both candidates
and other users. They may choose to add any politicians they wish
to support to the page, My Candidates, which is unique for each
user. Candidates may also be performed using the district
corresponding to the user's address. Additionally users may request
to add other voters to their political allies list. As with many
other sites, such a request requires the consent of any pending
ally.
Candidates' pages contains such information as issues
stances, backgrounds, and contact information. Candidates may also
post media, event information, and individual blogs. These features
are also available on user pages, ensuring that every voter has the
opportunity to be heard. Using these features users have the
ability, if they elect not to remain private, to inform everyone of
their stances and political leanings. This opportunity also
presents itself in the messaging system, perhaps the site's most
useful feature, which allows users to send online messages to the
candidates themselves.
