The Client

eQual, a California Public Benefit Corporation

Dedicated to advancing citizen-initiated ballot measures, eQual supports grassroots organizations and non-profits striving for policies that prioritize everyday people over special interests. They envisioned an online platform to revolutionize ballot qualification through advanced technology, streamlining efforts that traditionally relied on manual processes.

The Challenge

Creating a digital-first solution for ballot qualification

Materialize undertook the challenge of designing an entirely new system for qualifying ballot measures, diving deep into the canvassing and signature-gathering processes. Collaborating with eQual’s stakeholders, we conceptualized an intuitive, user-friendly experience and engineered an innovative platform that centralized and automated these complex workflows.

The Solution

A groundbreaking platform for qualifying ballot initiatives

Through close collaboration with the eQual team, we developed a system that transformed how organizations collect and manage petition data. The platform introduced automation for voter registration checks, signature verification, and petition scanning while enabling efficient reporting and success tracking. Today, eQual supports numerous high-profile nonprofits and has secured a place in a competitive accelerator program.
