gVote

gVote is a voter information platform that walks users through steps in the U.S. voting procedure by:

1. Helping users register to vote.
2. Listing the relevant elections coming up.
3. Providing details about each election, including ballot information and nearby polling sites, so users are ready to vote on election day.

You can find the deployed site at contrib-geo-step-2020.appspot.com.

Usage Instructions

Set up the project

git clone https://github.com/googleinterns/step190-2020.git

This project requires JDK 8 and Apache Maven to be installed in your environment.

Note: This command must be run in the root directory of the repository, because uses the pom.xml file to track dependencies and plugins.

The first time you run this command will take longer to build than usual because Maven is installing the project's dependencies.

Stop the local server

Ctrl+C or Cmd+C.

Run the tests

mvn verify

This command runs both unit tests and integration tests.
