Super Helpful Voting Tool

An incredibly helpful tool to help navigate issues and candidates in a time where every vote matters!

Life-changing app

There are so many issues that matter to me yet I never can truly know which candidate stands for what. As a sexual assault survivor, this issue matters so much to me and VoteMate was able to look through each candidate and where they stood on this issue/policy around it. VoteMate helped me feel visible and for once I felt so excited and confident to vote. Thank you to ever created this!

Fantastic

So much effort went into this, and it saves me so much effort figuring out my ballot. I like the ability to save my voting preferences over time, and the chat design is so intuitive and well sourced. I’ll be using this for every election!

Changing the world!!

It’s basically ChatGPT for elections. I can ask the questions I actually care about and get clear, unbiased information that helps me understand my choices. I feel so much more informed and empowered to make voting decisions I genuinely feel good about. It’s truly my “mate” as I navigate the political landscape - and that’s comforting :)

Helps me find candidates who share my vales

The intuitive interface helps me quickly find candidates who match *my* values, not the values of corporate donors or media outlets. VoteMate also helps clarify the impact of any ballot measures.

I like that I can use the app to just learn about candidates or measures, and I can also build out a sample ballot, based on what I've learned.

It's such a powerful tool to just have at my fingertips, especially living in a state with elections throughout the year (and every year).

I know I'll keep turning to this in the future!
