VOTO

VOTO is a nonprofit organisation with the mission to make voting easy. The company developed a voting advice application (VAA) that helps voters find a candidate or a party that stands closest to their preferences. VOTO allows users to create VAA with ease and at scale to serve all kinds of elections. The platform has been used in more than 400 elections - from municipal, mayoral, and state to federal elections. So far more than 200.000 citizens used VOTO. Evidence shows that VOTO’s low-threshold approach helped increase voter turnout and offered citizens orientation, transparency and participation opportunities. The no-code platform enables municipalities and organisations to build their own voting advice application - no prior knowledge is needed. Previous partners have been youth organizations, local communities and cities in Germany and Austria.
