Grafarholt and Úlfarsárdalur residents lead participation on My Neighborhood website
Nearly 6,000 Reykjavík residents have voted on Hverfidmitt.is since voting began on Sept. 14.
Idea contributors set records last fall during the idea collection phase, and all Reykjavík neighborhoods now feature a wide range of ambitious and diverse proposals for all age groups that people can vote on.
Grafarholt and Úlfarsárdalur leading in participation
The highest participation in voting is in Grafarholt and Úlfarsárdalur, where 6.3% of residents have voted. In second place are Laugardalur residents with 6.2%, closely followed by residents of Árbær and Norðlingaholt with 6%. In the last vote, Kjalarnes residents topped the list, closely followed by Árbær and Norðlingaholt, then Laugardalur.
The chart above shows the percentage of residents who have voted in each neighborhood.
Often just a few votes determine which ideas are chosen, so every vote matters. Voting is simple and it's fine to vote multiple times. Keep in mind that only your most recent vote counts.
City residents are encouraged to vote on Hverfidmitt.is and authenticate with electronic ID at the end to submit their vote. Voting is confirmed with IceKey or electronic ID.
Families vote together
It's ideal for families to vote together, involving children and teenagers in the household who can't vote, and giving them a chance to choose projects they think deserve votes. Residents are also encouraged to share information about the project and encourage your neighbors, friends and relatives to vote. There's still time to vote, as the voting closes at midnight on Sept. 28.
Voting assistance is available at Reykjavík City's service center at Borgartún 12-14 and at Reykjavík City service centers during the voting period. You can also send inquiries to hverfidmitt@reykjavik.is.
To help residents who don't speak Icelandic as a first language, the website is also available in Polish and English.
