1. Save your picks: Tap the heart on candidates you're leaning toward, then filter any race down to just your picks. Sign in and your ballot saves automatically — with a history of every ballot you've built, available on all your devices. 2. Enhanced ballot: Slide the ballot up over your chat, or drag it back down. Smoother scrolling, clearer race and election labels, sitting officeholders, voting dates, and ballot measures all in one place. Haven't entered an address yet? Browse a national snapshot of every upcoming contest. 3. Choose how deep answers go: Pick Quick for a fast reply, Deep to have VoteMate read more sources before answering, or Auto to let it decide. 4. See how VoteMate got there: Every answer now shows the research steps behind it, and tapping a citation previews the source — title, publisher, and where it leads — before you open it. 5. Help, right in the app: A searchable Help center that explains how each part of VoteMate works. Also in this release: • A simpler side menu with one-tap new chat and a flatter chat history • Better VoiceOver and screen reader support throughout • Bug fixes and performance maintenance

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!

Very much needed for those who vote!

Finally - an app that uses AI in an unbiased, professional, and informative way. If you need to vote on literally anything, anywhere … this is the tool to use. Yeah, chatgpt and claude etc are great, but this filters through all the nonsense and tells YOU, the voter, what you need to know based on your ideologies and beliefs. It also provides key dates, deadlines, and crystal clear instructions for anything ambiguous or with little nuances. I likely won’t vote on anything without using this app. Extremely well done. Only a matter of time before this is downloaded on all devices across the country.

Now this what I need!

Finally a way to cut through the muck of politically motivated info and just get real facts about candidates on things I care about!
