Willkommen im PROJEKT CH+ Games for Democracy ! In diesem Gemeinschaftsprojekt entwickeln wir 2 Demokratie-Apps, die es einfacher machen, sich während Wahlen zu informieren und nach den Wahlen auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben - damit du keine politischen Entscheide verpasst, die dich betreffen! Hey hey, halt STOPP. Und was soll jetzt dieses “DOPE” Dings?! Demokratie ist farbig, brisant und einfach absolut fabelhaft - genau wie DOPE Elections. DOPE Elections ist eine Wahlhilfe, mit der du eine einfache Übersicht über die nationale Regierung der Schweiz erhältst. Die Funktionen werden bis zu den Eidgenössischen Wahlen 2023 weiterentwickelt. In der aktuellen Projektrunde kannst du die ersten Funktionen für die Eidgenössische Ebene benutzen und mitentscheiden, was wir in Zukunft entwickeln sollen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Ideen! __________ DOPE Elections: Das Race Royale der Kandidierenden! In DOPE Elections buhlen die Kandidierenden um deine Gunst. In diesem Race Royale findest du heraus, welche Kandidierenden am besten zu dir passen. Du entscheidest, wer den Schlüssel ins kantonale Parlament verdient! Judihui, DU! Unsere Demokratie funktioniert nur, wenn du aktiv mitdenkst und mitentscheidest. Also, los geht’s! ______ DOPE Elections wird bis zu den Eidgenössischen Wahlen 2023 weiterentwickelt. Das heisst einerseits, dass du die Wahlhilfe aktiv mitgestalten kannst, andererseits aber auch, dass es ein paar Sachen gibt, die noch verbessert werden müssen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Ideen! _________ Information zu politischen Daten: Die politischen Daten in der CH+App stammen von smartvote (Verein politools, www.smartvote.ch). Die Kandidierenden stellen die Informationen auf smartvote selbst zur Verfügung und sind für die Inhalte auf ihren Profilen verantwortlich. Weitere Informationen stammen von parlament.ch, ch.ch, easyvote und bk.admin.ch. PROJEKT CH+ ist ein gemeinschaftsbasiertes Forschungsprojekt und keine staatliche Einrichtung.
