Vote USA Platform
Vote USA is built with .Net. There are actually two sites, a public site and a gated admin site. They have separate
code bases but share a C# library. All development is done in Visual Studio on an AWS workstation, with development sites hosted on a local instance of IIS. The live versions of each are hosted on AWS EC2 instances – a single instance for the admin site and a pair of load-balanced instances for the public site. The number and size of the load-balanced servers can be increased during periods of heavy demand (just before major elections). There is also a staging server for the public site. This is primarily to review changes before they go live.
New versions of the admin, public and staging sites are published via .msi files. These are created on the workstation but accessible to the EC2 instances.
The database is hosted on AWS RDS MySQL. There are two instances, a prod instance used by the public, staging and admin servers and a test instance used by the development versions of each.
What You'll Do
Implement new enhancements.
Fix occasional bugs.
Add, update, and maintain shape files which are used to construct each voter’s customized ballots based on their postal address. Shape files are used to convert postal addresses into geographical latitude and longitude parameters, which in turn, are then used to determine the various office contests on ballots.
Respond to AWS server maintenance requirements, like system software sunsets, i.e. the MySQL version we
were using.
Coordinate with WeVote’s engineers to enable Vote USA’s data to be integrated into WeVote’s platform.
Participate in weekly Zoom meetings.
