Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 2, Utility: 5)

Pollsight is a civic web application that aggregates candidate and ballot proposition information from various sources like social media, OpenFEC, and Vote411, then uses RAG and AI to rank candidates and summarize their alignment with a user's stated interests. It targets the real problem of information overload in local elections, though its implementation details and data coverage remain unclear.

Target audience: voters and civic-tech developers
