@peterkwells unclear if you're saying just put an API in front of the current service, or if you recognise a need to change the process?

@psd fair. I recognise the latter but was being pragmatic. Adding a bit at the end to clarify... -
@peterkwells it's really hard, because of the federation of electral roll and the high degree of trust users expect from the process -
@psd@peterkwells This applies to more or less everything that’s a national service managed at the local level. -
@psd@peterkwells Would like to find some patterns to approach it, that maintains the intent of the current structure -
@symroe@psd@peterkwells Why should I trust someone other than the gov to provide the service though? - View other replies

@blangry@psd@peterkwells by “the gov” you mean the state? You shouldn’t trust the gov to run elections for you :) - View other replies

@symroe@blangry@psd@peterkwells with an api to register to vote, security/accessibility/etc of other solutions are a worry -
@joelanman I think APIs for lots of govt services raise similar (not same..) concerns. Exploring them would be good@symroe@blangry@psd - Show more
