We Vote Ballot Guide, @WeVote 4+

My husband and I used We Vote during the last election to learn more about our ballots and make some tough choices. Between clicking on various organizations that helped us sort through the confusion of what the initiatives meant, and friending each other and a couple of trusted friends to learn what they were thinking (and vice versa), we felt like we had an excellent pool of information to draw from. It was so great! At last we can do away with sorting through a million piles of paper. I am grateful for a quick and easy way to get my head around how I want to vote, and also a chance to share my thoughts about the initiatives and the candidates.

We Vote makes voting for candidates simple. Voting for candidates, especially local candidates, can be confusing and tiresome. We Vote fixes this problem by allowing you to take control of your vote. You can choose what values you support and even follow public figures whose opinion’s you agree with. We Vote then gives a personal score to each candidate based on the values you chose. This streamlines the voting processes and allows you to confidently fill out your ballot.

Very easy to use interface — I’m a young voter and this made it significantly easier to find candidates that represent my values. The app allows you to follow issues you’re interested in. It also facilitates discourse about elections amongst friends so I highly recommend to any new voters who are looking for help navigating voting. Even if you’re experienced with the voting process, it’s great for keeping track of candidate positions and endorsements!
