Public policy graduates aim to boost turn out with turbo vote Main problem faced by the Turbovote and why the decision was difficult Case Study Solution
The main problem faced by the Turbovote was that, this type of technology does not exist in the market and it would be difficult for the founders of this business to develop the new technology that supports this business. Turbovote must be secure, anonymous and verifiable. So they would develop the technology that support that type of system. Another main problem faced by the company was, how they are going to pursue the risk averse public servants to buy this technology from the untried startup.

Brief Summary of key case facts
The voter turnout rate has decreased from 80 percentage to 60 percentage. Flaxman who faithfully voted in every election was thinking that high voter turnout could solve allthe issues in the country so he wanted the voting system that would encourage all the citizens to vote. Citizens who were ill or unable to vote because of any reason, Flaxman wanted that people should vote in the election. By looking at the trends, he thought that internet is revolutionizing all the sectors in an economy except the public so he decided to develop a technological system to revolutionize the public sector by reaching the voters to vote in the election.

Then the client would receive the first reminder regarding the election date. And when elections come close then they will receive another reminder regarding the time and venue for the vote. And at the end, they will achieve their goal of reaching all the voters and increase the voter turnout number.
