GENERATING A SOCIAL BALLOT USING INTERACTIONS WITHIN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems generate a social ballot for users within a communication system. Using interactions performed by users within the communication system, the communication system generates a social ballot for a user that includes political questions impacting the user. For example, the communication system identifies users that are impacted by the political issue. The communication system determines a response to a question regarding the political issue for a first user and determines whether a connection between the first user and a second user also impacted by the political issue meets a threshold level of affinity. When the connection between the first user and the second user meets the threshold level of affinity, the communication system generates a ballot for the second user that includes the question regarding the political issue and the response for the first user, and transmits the ballot to the second user.
