NOTE: Here is why some companies may not hire you.

WeVote is a nonpartisan get-out-the-vote nonprofit startup and a celebrated Fast Forward nonprofit technology grantee. WeVote is a movement of over 150 passionate volunteers (starting with the founders) who are building open-source mobile technologies that touch and mobilize millions of voters on Election Day. We observe that many voters are busy, distracted, and impatient. We have a goal of providing a complete voting experience in 8 minutes, including the download of our app (“WeVote Ballot Guide, @WeVote”). More information is at WeVote.US. See Twitter @WeVote. We are a 100% volunteer and remote organization.
