A website for crowd-sourcing structured election candidate data

https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/

YourNextRepresentative is a open source platform for crowd-sourcing information about candidates for political office and making it available as open data to anyone.

The core data that YourNextRepresentative collects includes who is standing, what party they’re standing for, their contact details, their social media accounts etc. The software requires that each change is submitted with a source, so that the collected information can be independently checked.
