Join web developers, designers, and activists this Friday, October 24th for a Jam Session to build out a groundbreaking new project called Twitter Vote Report. Inspired by a blog post by new media consultants Allison Fine and Nancy Scola, volunteers across the country are moving quickly to build a decentralized election monitoring system that will allow voters to use text messages to report incidents of voter suppression, long lines, broken machines, and other disruptions on election day. The Twitter Vote Report site will aggregate the reporting data, represent it in real-time on a dynamic web map, and notify voters, election monitoring groups, and the media, facilitating rapid response by poll workers and activists.

We’re partnering with the Election Protection Coalition, Rock the Vote, League of Young Voters, NPR, and a host of other groups to make this happen.

You can help! Here’s how:
1. Stop by The Change You Want To See from 11am to 6pm on Friday to work with the lead development team; or
2. Host your own jam session and list it on the VoteReport wiki; or
3. Join us from the comfort of your home via IRC freenode channel #VoteReport.
