Veek The Vote

Presented by Youth Noise, Veek the Vote is a project that allows voters with camera mobile phones to document their election day experiences!

 

To participate, simply take videos of election related content--lines at polling stations,
any prevention activities, rallies, odd/inappropriate signage near and
around polling stations--and email it to vote@veeker.com.

About a minute after a photo or video is sent, it will appear in a embedded player at veekthevote.com. This user generated content (UGC) can then be embedded anywhere on the web: on blogs, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Veek the Vote has created an open-source mobile video communication network, enabling complete democratization of election coverage.

Veek the Vote empowers Americans to be more than a statistic captured by exit polls on Election Day. Whether they’re taking to the streets in protest, waiting patiently (or impatiently) in line at the polls, or stuck behind a desk, Veek the Vote 2006 lets America show and see Election Day in a way never before possible.
