A platform called Poll.it aims to empower communities and increase transparency in public policy decision making by allowing citizens to engage with and provide real-time public opinion polls on local, regional, and national issues via a simple tap of "YES" or "NO". It also enables public notifications on urgent issues and uses analytics to identify trends in communities' needs that can help councils make more transparent and data-driven decisions that better meet community needs. The platform is built using technologies including Yeoman, HTML5, AngularJS, Karma, Express, MongoDB, and Mongoose.
