CivicBell provides a platform where local elected and public officials can engage with their constituents through a newsfeed with information, surveys, and discussions while also providing access to local news, local events and a means to engage the community.
How is CivicBell different from other online platforms like Twitter or Facebook?
- All residents are verified by comparing cell phone numbers to authoritative databases, such as cell phone carriers — there are no bots and fake accounts on CivicBell.
- Residents are automatically linked to all districts they are a part of and the agencies, elected, and public officials representing and/or serving those districts. Residents of your district will receive your posts from the first moment they join CivicBell.
- By default resident users can only engage with your posts if they actually live in your district — no bantering from across the country if you don’t want that.
