P.O.V. launches Election Day website!

P.O.V. (www.pbs.org/pov/) just launched a companion website for Arts Engine’s latest film Election Day which will have its broadcast premiere on the PBS series tomorrow night (check local listings). We are so excited to have this new site live! The P.O.V. Interactive team really delved deep into the world of election reform to create a comprehensive and incredibly informative site, one chock full of resources, additional footage, and take action opportunities.

My favorite section is the Election FAQ where Common Cause’s Derek Cressman gives you all the answers to questions about our electoral process here in the U.S. From queries about how our voting system measures up against other countries to learning about how you can become a pollwatcher, these are questions we need to ask and answers we must know with the 2008 election fast approaching. Got a question about our elections that you want answered? You can even suggest your own here.

You can also get involved by participating in the News Hunt and reviewing current news stories about the 2008 elections and our voting process. If you want to see our current system change, you can find a hearty list of suggestions for taking action. Finally, you won’t want to miss a few additional scenes from the film here on P.O.V.’s site.
