Get Matched Vote Your Values
What We've Accomplished So Far
In 2020 we helped thousands of voters find the politicians that they could “bring home to mom” and who they should “leave on read” with our dating app for elections. Our dedicated team of over 130 volunteers conducted more than 4,000 of research on where the candidates stood on the issues, so users could be matched on the issues important to them and NOT just party or immutable characteristics like race, gender, or sexual identity.
We've teamed up with Shoppyist so you can shop your values

VotingSmarter's Mission
We believe the big problems that we face as a country ARE fixable, but it will take a lot of us to do it from outside the system. But getting more people involved requires honestly, clarity, and simplicity. That's why everthing we has to be fair, fast, and fun. Our nuetrality leads to trust, and trust leads to engagement. Regular people don't have the time or energy for politics, so we have to be consise. Most people think politics feel complicated and boring, so we have to be engaging. With all this in mind we build tech and make content striving for these 3 goals:
- Make politics easier for everyone
- Increase primary election turnout
- Disrupt the corruption of money in politics
What do we look at?
We help you align with candidates & Brands based on these values
