Not updated

This did not have the correct local government settings for me. Wasn’t helpful

A digital voter guide for digital generations

Quit simply; download the WeVote app, sign up, and become a far more educated voter.

No excuses; be a part of representative government or allow others to make decisions that affect you and your lived ones.

Great App

Such an useful app that makes voting easy !

Best app for new and experienced voters

Very easy to use interface — I’m a young voter and this made it significantly easier to find candidates that represent my values. The app allows you to follow issues you’re interested in. It also facilitates discourse about elections amongst friends so I highly recommend to any new voters who are looking for help navigating voting. Even if you’re experienced with the voting process, it’s great for keeping track of candidate positions and endorsements!

Nah, Bruh!

We vote has designate MY gps voting district for NYS senate as being close to NYC, whereas I am in Upstate NY. As if the redistricting maps and delayed primary isn’t bad enough, on on a LINE and can’t seem to get an accurate list of my candidates through THIS app OR ballotpedia… elections are important, if WEVOTE can’t provide accurate information to the public then has it needs to be reported for interfering in elections… it’s a little sus since dtRUMP is right up in there on a main list of issues and organizations…. Idk, I’m feeling a Russian hacker/whitechristiannationalist vibe.

Response from developer

Hello, we appreciate your caring about maintaining the integrity of American democracy, as we do. We encourage all Americans to get involved with helping keep elections run smoothly, and I am glad for your passion. We Vote does not support or oppose any political candidate or party. We order lists of people and groups who endorse candidates partially based on number of Twitter followers, which is why you might see a public figure like Donald Trump at the top of any list of endorsers. You can choose who's opinions you want to pay attention to by following specific Values, public figures or groups. We are based in Oakland, California and have volunteers all over the United States. We are not affiliated with any religion or ideology. Our team Core values can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12qBXevI3mVKUsGmXL8mrDMPnWJ1SYw9zX9LGW5cozgg/edit In order to see the ballot items from an upcoming election which will be on your official ballot, you can edit your address in the We Vote app by using your ZIP code (if you don't feel comfortable adding your full address). We Vote works with publicly available "what's-on-the-ballot" data, including in some elections, data from Ballotpedia (which is a well-respected organization -- also a nonprofit like We Vote). Our nonpartisan partners who provide what's-on-the-ballot data work incredibly hard to cover the entire United States, but we cannot guarantee 100% of the items on your official ballot will be shown on We Vote. Please contact us at https://help.wevote.us if you have questions. We are also open source if you would like to see the software that powers We Vote: https://github.com/wevote

Amazing idea-poor execution

10/23/20 update:still lags and scrolls poorly. Love the idea of this app

The idea of this app is amazing. Pick people , organizations, and issues you care about and see how they’ve weighed in on candidates right on your ballot. BUT the app constantly freezes up, the search function is horrendously slow, and if you try to scroll down the app slows down and the pictures move to the wrong places.

Very User-Friendly App

I love how easy it is to view my ballot through the app. I recommend this app to everyone, especially in time for the Nov 2020 election.

Glad for my friends to know an awesome friend/candidate I’m supporting

Glad for my friends to know an awesome friend/candidate I’m supporting.

Finally a way to see my ballot!!

I live in California and have been so frustrated by how difficult it’s been to learn about my local candidates and ballot measures. This app is awesome!! I can finally feel like I know who I’m really voting for and what elections are coming up. I tried this app before and it had some glitches, but now it feels really smooth and I loveee it. 60 days till the election lets go 👏👏👏

Best Civic Engagement App

We Vote makes voting for candidates simple. Voting for candidates, especially local candidates, can be confusing and tiresome. We Vote fixes this problem by allowing you to take control of your vote. You can choose what values you support and even follow public figures whose opinion’s you agree with. We Vote then gives a personal score to each candidate based on the values you chose. This streamlines the voting processes and allows you to confidently fill out your ballot.
