The Mahoning County Board of Elections will have a free mobile app ready for Android, iPhones and iPads by August.

The app will allow people to see if they’re registered to vote, their polling location, how to request an absentee ballot and voter registration form as well as places where they can register, said Director Joyce Kale-Pesta.

The app also will have links for campaign-finance reports and past election results.

“It’s geared toward younger people, but plenty of others will use it as well,” Kale-Pesta said.

The board selected Purple Forge Corp. of Ottawa, Canada, to set up and maintain the app. The company is experienced with this type of work and had the lowest and best proposal, Kale-Pesta said. The fee is $20,000 to set up the app with a yearly contract of $3,500.
