Extensible
Sway doesn't serve every city, but it can. If you don't see your municipality in Sway already you can work with us to add it.
As of August, 2012, the US Census Bureau counted 89,004 local governments in the United States. That is almost 90,000 governments that need to be held accountable to their voters.
Sway is open to changes. If you want to hold your local government accountable, open a request to add your municipality on Github
Private
Political choices can carry a lot of tension. Sway knows this and works to make Sway as private as possible.
- Your data is your data, it is not and will not be sold to anyone.
- See the number of people who voted, not their names.
- Influence your representatives without revealing your identity.
Sway works with you to both maximize your privacy and power.
