Election Assistant

Most people don’t understand how elections actually work.

Not because it’s complicated —
but because it’s explained in the most boring, static way possible.

So I built something different.

Instead of another guide or chatbot, I created an interactive system where you explore the election process like a map.

You don’t scroll through information.
You navigate it.

🧠 Think of it like:

  • A flow map where every step (Registration → Voting → Results) is connected
  • Clickable nodes with real actions, checklists, and decisions
  • “What if” scenarios (lost voter ID, name missing, changed location) that actually change your path
  • A timeline that shifts context from before election → election day → after
  • An AI assistant that doesn’t dump paragraphs, but gives clear, step-by-step answers

And the best part?

It’s not just informational — it reacts to you.

Choose your situation → the system adapts
Make a mistake → it shows consequences and recovery
Don’t know what to do → it guides you step by step

Basically, instead of asking:

«“What is the election process?”»

You experience:

«“What do I need to do?”»

Built this using React + a flow-based UI approach to make it feel closer to tools like Figma/Miro than a typical website.

Still refining it, but this changed how I think about building products:
Not just showing information
But designing how people understand it

Would love honest feedback
(what works / what feels confusing)
