Case Study: Sanoma boosts civic participation with Futurice’s modern voting advice application

Sanoma builds a reusable voting application in 6 months with Futurice

Sanoma, Finland's leading multi-channel media company, faced the challenge of developing a new voting advice application to support civic participation. Their previous application was technically outdated and unable to meet goals for being informative, easy to use, and scalable across their media brands for future elections. They partnered with vendor Futurice to build a completely new solution.

Futurice co-created and implemented the new application, handling both the front end and back end. The solution was built with modern, scalable technologies like React, Next.js, and AWS serverless infrastructure. The results included a more accurate algorithm for analyzing candidates, significant cost savings through a reusable platform, and an accessible application that lowered the barrier for democratic participation. Futurice delivered a system that was successfully used across multiple Sanoma media brands during the parliamentary election.
