Election Hackdays
Election day in Switzerland is coming up this fall, and we’ll put politics and election data at the centre of the next MAKE.Opendata.ch hackathon. Designers, programmers, journalists, specialists and citizens of all backgrounds will be working on useful app ideas, interesting visualizations and new datasets for the Federal Elections during this two day workshop.
The Federal Elections Hackday will be held on September 4 and 5, 2015, at two venues in parallel: the offices of Neue Züricher Zeitung (NZZ) in Zurich and Le Temps in Lausanne. Developers, designers, hacks and hackers will be working with open data on the subject of politics and elections. Participation is free of charge. The hackdays start on Friday, 4th of September, at 9 o’clock and end with final presentations the next day at 16 o’clock.
Informations to register will be provided below shortly.

How to get involved
In order to be successful, the event needs you to share your data, your programming skills, and your ideas, so:
Come and experience the Hackdays!
Join us in September for two days of fun, innovation and digital brainstorming. It is great if you are a programmer or working in media or involved in politics, and you are ready to help with your skills, and we are also looking for non-technical people across all domains. Start a project, tag it with election, and announce it here!
Share your suggestions for data
Maybe you are aware of interesting data and topics? In preparation for the hackdays we are putting together a list of datasets to “open up”. We encourage you to contribute to it by adding new items. Please feel free to leave us a note on the forum with your requests!
