This app is intended to display the polling location within a user's ward/precinct, using their home address or current location. In addition, you can see a picture of the polling place, Google Maps directions, and a link to bring up directions in your browser or your mobile navigation application.

Data has been culled from Cambridge GIS open information sources, including polling location data and ward/precinct boundary data, all in GeoJSON format.

The cambridge_voting_locations application is developed with yeoman, based on top of node.js.

Within the cambridge_voting_locations directory:

npm install -g yo  # installs yeoman, grunt and bower automatically
npm install        # installs local node dependencies
bower install      # installs local client-side library dependencies
grunt server       # starts server
grunt build        # places a production copy of the app in the dist directory

It also requires Ruby/Compass to compile SASS stylesheets. With Ruby installed, install Compass via gem install compass.

All development work is done within the app directory. We're using Yeoman's deployment strategy. Before committing, please run grunt build and commit any changes within the dist directory as well.
