VoteGlobal is looking for volunteers and interns.

VoteGlobal is a not for profit and apolitical site that’s all about spreading democracy globally online. VoteGlobal has been in soft launch while we test the system and get the bugs out. Our main promotion is our Twitter feed which was something we experimented with and found we got good traction in bringing people to vote. Currently we have about 3500 followers across our various Twitter accounts which is not earth shattering but a good start given the modest outreach. There are a few hundred members and we have processed about 18,000 votes.

We are now entering a period in which we want to expand our activity and support a tilt at some serious fund raising. The plan is to approach a number of Foundations that are active in the democracy and political space and seek funding to enable us to grow into a mainstream site and realize our vision. This funding will enable us to hire our editorial staff. In the meantime we are very keen to get more help with content creation (not just in English) and editing along with people to help manage and edit our twitter streams and develop out our other social media strategies.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN – even a few hours here and there will make a big difference. Please email me if you are prepared to volunteer at mjgale@voteglobal.com
