Key Talking Points & Guidance

• See your own ballot. Find the candidates and measures you’ll be voting on, from national races to local offices.
• Start with what matters to you. Tell VoteMate about your priorities or a concern in your neighborhood, then explore how candidates’ positions relate to it.
• Compare candidates. Explore their priorities, positions, and records, and ask follow-up questions about the differences that matter to you.
• Understand ballot measures. Ask what a proposal would change, what voting yes or no means, and how it could affect your community.
• Get Answers Your Way. Choose everyday or policy-focused language and brief, balanced, or thorough answers. Get information in a style that works for you.
• Ask by text or voice, in 16+ languages. Have a conversation in your own words, without needing to know political jargon or exactly what to search for.
• Find your current representatives. Use the Info tab to see who represents you now and find their contact information.
• Know your key voting dates. Look up registration deadlines, when your ballot is due, and other important dates for your election.
• Save your choices. Keep your selections on your ballot as you research, and come back when you’re ready to vote.
• Check the sources. Open citations, explore the evidence, and ask follow-up questions. AI can make mistakes, and you should be able to verify what you read.
• AI that serves voters. VoteMate is a nonprofit built to put the power of AI in voters’ hands. Our goal is to make information and understanding accessible to everyone, so people have more power to make their voices heard. We have no candidate or party agenda, and we don’t tell you how to vote.
• Free and private. We don’t sell or share your personal information. You can explore what matters to you, ask questions, and make your own informed choices.
