What We Do

VoteMate pulls up a voter's actual local ballot based on their address and lets them ask questions about anything on it. Comparing two candidates running for school board? Trying to figure out what a confusingly worded ballot measure actually does? Wondering what's at stake in a race you've never heard of? VoteMate gives you plain-language, real-time answers grounded in trusted public data.

We've helped over 20,000 voters across all fifty states navigate their local ballots and vote with more confidence. VoteMate is free, nonpartisan, and available now.
