Polco announced Thursday that Dane County has begun using its online voting platform to improve accuracy on public engagement.

According to a release, registered voters and verified residents can now vote, offer their opinions and be a part of active policy proposals without having to attend meetings in-person.

“County leaders can now make better decisions based on data gathered directly from their voting public,” Polco CEO and Founder Nick Mastronardi said in a statement. “Polco takes the guesswork out of what the public is thinking and gives elected officials new data, analysis and insights they need to make informed decisions.”
