How to use and support
Talk to your dev team or agency today if you want to use it for next week's elections. They can get you up and running very quickly.

There are great step-by-step instructions on Github.

Thank Yous

Two councils (Cumberland and Westmorland) came together to fund this, showing how our Kickstarter idea works. We plan to build more features this way, putting the specifications and the costings out there and seeing which councils can help fund the work. Thanks to the teams at Cumberland and Westmorland.

It was a fantastic joint effort from Duncan at Rohallion, Mark Conroy (supported by Big Blue Door), and our core team. They mobilised quickly to collaborate on the work to hit an immovable deadline.

We want to do more of this kind of work in the future. It’s only possible because our councils and suppliers wish to collaborate and share code and because of the unique nature of our funding. Thank you to everyone involved.
