CrowdWorx goes Politics

CrowdWorx supports the Dresden chapter of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD), which is one of the two big parties of the nation. With a public platform hosted at spd.crowdworx.de the local chapter of the SPD is being enabled to tap into the hearts and minds of its members and voters. Questions include both open-ended question (where no real-world outcome exists) as well as forecasts with a well-defined real-world outcome. For instance, members and voters were asked about the importance of various topics in everyday life (open-ended question) as well as about the impact of recent decision of other political parties on their vote share. Other topics included the classical election forecasting as well as some fun markets, such as the outcome of local soccer matches.
