The result? Location-specific ballot education and sample ballots with plain-language insights, personalized to each voter’s values and beliefs.
Impact Story
In the U.S., millions of voters struggle to complete their ballots—not due to apathy, but because of cognitive overload, misinformation, and lack of time. Traditional voter resources are helpful but static, and most AI tools are restricted from providing specific, localized election information. This leaves voters to navigate a system that’s too complex for many to trust or understand. VoteMate changes that. Our secure, nonpartisan platform uses AI to guide voters through their own ballots with personalized, plain-language insights. Users input their address and answer a short values-based questionnaire. VoteMate then generates a customized sample ballot with clear explanations of each race and proposition—plus alignment scores showing how well each option reflects the voter’s stated beliefs.Launching in Fall 2025 in New Jersey and Virginia, VoteMate is built for time-strapped, digital-first voters who want clarity—not noise. Our AI is designed to be inclusive, multilingual, and transparent, offering the benefits of cutting-edge civic tech without corporate influence.
VoteMate empowers voters with clarity, confidence, and control. It’s especially designed for people often left behind by traditional voter tools—full-time workers, caregivers, and anyone who lacks time to research their ballot. Our outreach prioritizes underserved communities through local events and targeted digital campaigns focused on accessibility and trust. At launch, VoteMate will support English and Spanish. By the 2026 midterms, we plan to expand to Portuguese, Korean, and Chinese—reaching key ESL communities historically excluded from civic tools. VoteMate is a low-barrier, personalized experience that meets voters where they are, with culturally competent guidance that puts their values first.
