Explore 14 projects in the Political parties category of the Civic Tech Field Guide.

Political parties may innovate when it comes to campaigning -- particularly if there's new tech that helps raise money, save money (usually on advertising), or drive messaging on new channels. But in so many places, parties' own infrastructure and decision-making processes are ancient. And when an institution is out of date, it's often because that works just fine for incumbents. Parties are a fundamental layer of democratic governance, and yet they've managed to duck the wave of change that's swept through campaigning, activism, public engagement, and even government. Here's to changing that.
