VoteMate is a free, nonpartisan app that shows your actual ballot next to an AI chat that explains every race, candidate, and measure on it. Enter your address, see exactly what you'll face at the polls, and ask anything.
Ballots are long. The language is dense. Most voters leave questions blank because no one ever explained them. VoteMate fixes that in minutes.
YOUR PERSONALIZED BALLOT
▸ Enter your address and see the exact contests and measures you'll vote on — federal, state, local, and ballot measures. Not generic information. Your races.
▸ Candidate cards show party, incumbent status, and their social links when available.
▸ Ballot measures come with plain-language summaries, topic tags, and the full text.
ASK ANYTHING, GET SOURCES
▸ Tap Full profile on any candidate for their background, policy positions, voting record, who has endorsed them, and their own words.
▸ Compare candidates side by side on the issues you care about.
▸ Every answer cites its sources. Tap a citation to preview the publisher and where it leads before you open it.
▸ Choose how deep to go: Quick for a fast answer, Deep to read more sources, or Auto to let VoteMate decide.
▸ See the research trail behind any answer — the steps VoteMate took to get there.
MARK YOUR PICKS, KEEP YOUR BALLOT
▸ Heart the candidates you're leaning toward, and filter any race down to just your picks.
▸ Sign in and your ballot saves with a status you can see — draft, saved, or complete — plus a history of every ballot you've built, on every device.
▸ Your picks are yours alone: private, never shared, and never suggested by us.
NEVER MISS A DEADLINE
▸ Registration deadlines, early voting windows, mail and absentee cutoffs, same-day registration, and when polls close.
▸ Contact information and websites for your state and county election offices.
16+ LANGUAGES
▸ The entire app — ballot, chat, help, and settings — offered in 16 languages.
FREE. ALWAYS.
VoteMate is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The app is free. No ads. We don't sell your data. And you can use it without creating an account.
BUILT FOR TRUST
▸ Ballot and candidate data from Democracy Works, Ballotpedia, Congress.gov, and official government records.
▸ Nonpartisan by design: every candidate and party gets the same format, the same depth, the same tone. VoteMate never tells you who to vote for.
▸ Built on Microsoft's Responsible AI principles, with source-cited answers, PII filtering, and human review. Full detail at votemateus.org/transparency.
▸ We collect only what's needed to show you your ballot: your address. No tracking, no profiling, no monetizing your activity.
▸ A searchable Help center in the app explains how every part of VoteMate works.
▸ Built with screen reader support throughout.
Works for voters in all 50 states and DC.

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.
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!
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!
