The City of Stillwater is excited to announce the launch of Polco, an innovative engagement platform where residents can have input into the community decision-making process. Through new insights using Polco’s civic analytics website and apps, the City will post questions directly to residents and receive insightful, reliable data to help drive local policy decisions. By increasing civic engagement through web-based polling, there is an opportunity to meet Stillwater residents where they are. Stillwater values community knowledge, is committed to improving communication channels to impact change, and is dedicated to sharing polling results and explanations of policy decisions based on this new mode of participation.

Residents become active users by downloading the Polco app or by visiting POLCO.us/Stillwater, and creating an account by answering a few brief questions. Polco is committed to a strict privacy policy where they only share aggregated de-identified results. Participant detailed data and votes are never shared. This service is free to all community members.
