Help BrantVotes Reach 500 Followers: Support Local Democracy for Free!

Local election coverage relies on community engagement. As we continue producing in-depth candidate interviews, live streams, and non-partisan updates across the County of Brant, we need your help to reach a key milestone: hitting 500 followers on YouTube and Facebook!

Why 500 Followers Matters

Reaching 500 followers/subscribers unlocks crucial tools on both YouTube and Facebook. Hitting this target grants us access to enhanced streaming features, community post tools, and native platform features that keep BrantVotes sustainable and accessible to everyone in our region. 500 Followers is about 1.6% of the 31,000 voters in the County of Brant. It would be awesome if everyone voted but in reality only 25-30% of the 31,000 actually vote on the future of the County. Going with that percentage having 500 Followers will equal about 6% of actual voters. Lets talk and bring up the concerns that you have, you might not be the only one.

Electronic Voting

It’s New! It’s Scary! Is it Safe? Is it tracked? These are some of the things that I have heard from people who have asked me about the online voting. So I took a deep dive into the program that the County of Brant uses ( And MANY Others ). First off, the company is CANADIAN! Okay, that’s all, the dive is done. 😉 I will continue, but being a Canadian company is at the top of my requirements for a system that we use. Is it Safe? The
