Encouraging civic engagement among developers, GitHub emphasizes the significance of voting in national and local elections, highlighting how government policies affect software development and usage. To support this, GitHub has been actively preparing the developer community to participate in the electoral process by assisting them in planning to vote and encouraging them to volunteer as poll workers. They have also allowed their employees, known as Hubbers, to take paid time off to vote. GitHub has showcased open-source projects that aim to improve elections and highlighted global civic initiatives like their collaboration with the Times of India and IBM on the Lost Votes Tech Solutions Challenge. Beyond voting, GitHub advocates for ongoing civic involvement through contributing to civic projects on its platform, promoting the message with the “I Voted” Octocat for developers' profiles.
