FakeElections.com

Focus: Democratic Sandbox & Civic "Retailtainment"

FakeElection.com is a fun way to play with democracy. It strips away the stress of modern politics to focus on the mechanics of community consensus and the excitement of the ballot box.

The Vision

By gamifying the voting process, we provide a "sandbox" for communities to test ideas, run mock elections, and engage in civic practice without real-world consequences. It’s a tool for neighborhoods, schools, and organizations to find their collective voice through interactive simulation.
