Launching genevany.info
It's alive!
As of July 15, 2024 the "alpha" version is live.
genevany.info is a citizen data site based on public data sourced from Ontario County, NY.
I created this site for a number of reasons. Most of this information is available elsewhere, however either the form or the organization makes it difficult to find and/or use.
- PDF files are convenient for distributing visual information to multiple media, but they're suboptimal for everything (have you tried zooming in on a PDF? on a mobile phone?)
- you have to know where to find and combine the disparate data
- there should be a simple of way of identifying the who, what, and where associated with your address
The goal is an easy-to-use, mobile-friendly site that allows anyone in Geneva to quickly access:
- anything you need to know regarding local and state representation
- anything you need to know regarding voting locations
- ELECTION INFORMATION (including WHO is running for WHAT in YOUR DISTRICT and WHEN)
- structured and aggregated financial information
Comments, concerns, questions, and queries can be directed to Ben Lopatin.
