Oliver-Binns / Choose

Helps users to decide how to vote by swiping on manifesto policies. iMessage stickers allow users to encourage their friends to vote. Available for iOS (Swift).

General Election

Unsure who to vote for? Use this helpful app to decide based on policies, not people.

Find out which political party you agree with the most. You can then share your match with your friends using iMessage stickers.

Candidate Data

Candidate data is exported from Democracy Club's CSV export tool:

https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/data

It is converted from CSV to JSON using a script contained in this repository.

cd DataFormatting
swift run DataFormatting candidates candidates -o ../GeneralElection/Sources/Constituencies/Resources/candidates.json

Policy Data

Policy data is compiled from the manifestos of each political party.

Use the DataFormatting Swift Package to create the policy.json file.
