Dale Sizmore/Voterworkz

Voterworkz breaks down barriers to running for political office. That makes it easier and more affordable for people to participate in the process and bring new voices to the discussion. They do that by providing customized reports about the most engaged voters, by analyzing voter history patterns to identify those most likely to vote in upcoming elections. That saves time, money and shoe leather for candidates. And they do it for a fraction of the cost of other methods.
