Civic Engagement App 'Hear My Voice' Provides Two-Way Communication Between Elected Officials And Their Constituents

ORLANDO, Fla., July 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hear My Voice, a civic engagement platform and mobile app, modernizes communication between elected officials and their constituents by highlighting local issues. The app encourages civic participation by inviting local officials to create profiles and contribute issue pages that describe the For and Against sides of local issues impacting their communities.

"Most local legislators don't have an effective digital channel to communicate with their constituents," asserts Becky Kip, Founder and CEO of Hear My Voice. "Discussions on social media can be congested with unproductive negativity and emails alone aren't enough to fully engage voters and get their feedback on issues affecting their communities."

At the end of the day, voters want their voices heard and elected officialsneed effective ways to reach those voters. Emails to voters can suffer from low open rates and traditional direct mail can end up straight in a voter's trashcan.

"Knowing where their constituents stand on important issues is vital for local legislators to make decisions," continues Kip. "Hear My Voice provides that crucial two-way communication that helps both the decision makers in office and the decision makers in the voting booths."

Through their HMV profile, elected officials can communicate with their constituents through LIVE town halls natively within the app and sending push notifications directly to HMV users in their district. In return, HMV users can comment on legislators' issues along with calling, tweeting and emailing those legislators directly through the legislators' profile.

Hear My Voice is available for free download on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
