City of Somerville
Dataset Description
The City of Somerville completed the first-ever Participatory Budgeting cycle in 2023. In Participatory Budgeting, residents submit ideas for how to improve Somerville with one million dollars; volunteers score and select the 20 best ideas; and residents vote on the final ideas.
Voters could choose and rank up to 5 ideas out of the 20 selected final ideas. This dataset provides the number of votes in each rank slot for each of the final ideas.
