BetterVoting contribution guide
We’re so excited you’re interested in contributing! Here’s how to get plugged in
-
Join Equal Vote : BetterVoting is a project of the Equal Vote Coalition, a nonpartisan 501c3 nonprofit. Joining will sign you up for email updates, add you to the slack, and bring you in contact with our volunteer coordinator.
-
Create a GitHub account : All roles will require a GitHub account (even if you’re not a developer). Once you’ve created an account drop an email to [email protected] with your account name so you can be setup with basic triage permissions.

Get setup for your role :
For Developers:
Setup BetterVoting locally, so that you can develop and test your changes. Then grab a good-first-issue!
For DevOps Engineers:
Setup a meeting at starvoting.org/meeting to get plugged in with our DevOps team.
