e-Elections.com Named Politics Online's Hot Site of the Week

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 12, 1999) — e-Elections.com has been named Hot Site of the Week by Politics Online for the week of Oct. 11, 1999. Politics Online, the leading provider of fund-raising and Internet tools for politics, publishes a weekly evaluation of political Web sites. The Hot Site column may be viewed on Politics Online's Web site, http://www.politicsonline.com.

e-Elections.com provides free Web addresses for issue-oriented campaigns on the Internet. The site offers an extensive Web address directory, which lists "Yes on…" and "No on…" URLs for numbers 1 to 100 and all letters of the alphabet. The key feature is that e-Elections allows initiative and referendum campaigns across the nation to share the same Web address at the same time.

"The Internet is an increasingly important tool for politics and E-elections.com has shown that they understand the value of this new media," said Phil Noble, president of Politics Online. "This web site is an important and valuable resource for issue-oriented campaigning on the Internet.

"We search the political Web each week and e-Elections.com is an exceptional site," said Noble. "This site does a great service for issue-oriented campaigns. e-Elections.com promotes issue awareness by allowing Web campaigns to share its URL directory."

Politics Online chose this site based on four criteria: innovative use of technology, subject relevance, rich content and political impact.

The Hot Site designation puts this site among an exclusive group of political Web sites. Recent winners include Politics1.com, VoxCap.com, MoveOn.org and USADemocracy.com. Hot Site winners are showcased in a front-page column for one week and then placed in Politics Online's Hot Site archive, at www.politicsonline.com/hot/.
