Inspiration We made VoteScore as it is a more interactive and lucrative way of the voting process to users, specifically young adults, in which hope to increase voter turnout .We wanted to make the processes of election game-like, providing rewards not only for voting themselves but even sharing with friends.
What it does
VoteScore is a web-based, game-like voting system in which users earn points either by sending over the stickers of their votes or by referring friends; with the accrued points, they go to battle and invest time in other fun games integrated into the system.
How we built it
Votescore is built using next.js, tailwind, and typescript.
Challenges we ran into
One of the big challenges we ran into has been the design of the point system-to make it as appealing as it is fair. We wanted to give a rewarding feeling but not make the system easily abused. Among the other challenges was finding the right balance between the playfulness in the elements of the game and the seriousness of the vote.
Things we are proud of
We are proud that we have opened the door to making voting more fun and entertaining for the masses. We believe that our VoteScore can improve voter turnout in general and especially among the younger generation by gamifying and incentivizing the process.
What we learned
While developing VoteScore, we learned a lot about gamification and the possibilities for applying it beyond gaming areas. We also got a lot of great experience in integrating various APIs and building a web application using Next.js. We also plan to implement the backend so that instead of storing data locally in their system, users can store data on the cloud with the use of something like Supabase or MongoDB.
