For the voting game I have in mind, the purpose of the game will be to inspire (let's hope) people to register and go vote. It will be a narrative game. Some of the options will be to listen to the candidates state their platform and what they hope to accomplish once in office, skip opportunities to learn what the issues are in the election, register to vote, and to actually vote. I hope the game will be geared towards people in the 18 - 25 age group. That group has the lowest number of voters. There are many organizations trying to help this group get inspired to stand for something and vote for the candidates they feel represent them best. I feel that a game like this would accomplish that as well. Many people in this age group spend a great deal of their time on the internet, and this would be an excellent way for them to realize how important voting is. I think this is one of the best ways to reach this group.
