Why do governments need better community input?

 

We've found several cases where:

  •  A local government already had some traditional public input data 
  • Then, they got some scientific FlashVote survey data on the same issue

 We've turned these comparisons into fun little 1-minute animated videos that show the big problems with:

  1. Public input in general
  2. Online surveys
  3. Emails
  4. Complaints

We've also included a 3 minute video story from the perspective of elected officials. 

Enjoy! And please feel free to share.

#1 - Traditional public input can be terribly misleading

The first clue was our first survey. Watch how a proposed change to trash service almost went very wrong.

#2 - Online survey data isn't reliable

Want to know why unscientific online surveys are "dangerous data"? Watch this community center example.

#3 - Emails are not representative of your community

Watch what happens when a local government keeps track of all the emails they receive on an issue.

#4 - Complaints are not representative either

Watch how one city learned that a rash of complaints did not represent how the whole community felt.

#5 - Elected officials need much better input

See the public input problem from the perspective of elected officials.
