Hi Jennifer,
I signed up. A few thoughts:
-The home page looks a bit bare. Even with candidate and party
pledges, most of that page may best be used to convert visitors.
-The flow is a bit confusing (I confirmed my email address before the
riding, which doesn't help). It would be neat to know what happens now
- does my MP get contacted? Do I hear back?
-A call to action could be effective at the last stage, e.g. asking
people to tell their friends.
-Would you use infringing postal code => riding data?
If the project is accessible I can likely make changes - is this on
git / github?
Cheers,
d.

The site collects sigunups from citizens and pledges from political candidates on five issues related to government transparency. We're still working on tweaking the look/feel and adding more pages to display the results, but the basic signup mechanism is working and ready for use.
