Culver City Launches FlashVote to Expand Community Participation: Sign-Up Takes Under a Minute, Surveys Stay Open 48 Hours
The City of Culver City, in Los Angeles County, California, announced on November 10 that it has partnered with the civic survey platform FlashVote to gather resident input, inviting residents to spend about one minute a month sharing their views so city decisions better reflect the community.
Residents can sign up on the FlashVote website or participate by phone or text by calling 775-235-2240. Sign-up takes less than a minute, responses are always anonymous, and the personal or demographic information FlashVote collects is never shared with the city or anyone else. Residents choose how to receive surveys, by email, text or phone call. When a new survey opens, participants are notified and have 48 hours to respond; once a survey closes, everyone who took part automatically receives a summary of the overall results and can see how their responses compare with the group's.
City Manager Odis Jones said good decisions start with understanding what matters most to the community, and that while not everyone can attend a public meeting, everyone deserves an opportunity to be heard. FlashVote, he said, gives the city another way to connect with residents, better understand their priorities and ensure community feedback helps guide city decisions. The city urged residents to sign up now so they do not miss the first survey.
