Oregon Measure 91 would legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana. The initiative has a great chance of winning, but only if there is a strong voter turnout. If you have already voted, thank you so much for participating in democracy. For those of you that haven’t voted, please do so ASAP! We all know someone that hasn’t voted, we just might not know who he or she is. Fortunately, there is a great new app that can help you determine which of your Oregon friends or family members hasn’t voted. If you use the app and find out someone you know hasn’t voted, give them a gentle reminder to do so, and to make sure to vote ‘yes’ on Oregon Measure 91. The app can be found at DidTheyVote.Org. Here’s how it works:
- The user authenticates with Facebook giving the app permission to see their friends list.
- The app uses an algorithm to obtain the best match between a Facebook friend and their corresponding state voter record.
- The app displays a list of matches who have not yet voted for the user to see.
- The information only indicates if a ballot has been cast or not. It does not indicate how a voter has voted.
- Once the user sees this list of matches, they can click “Message” to send their Facebook friend a message to remind them to vote.
