Why we're building this
Most people vote based on party loyalty, name recognition, or what they saw in their feed that morning. The tools that exist to help are clunky, feel dated, and rely on third-party research that candidates can dismiss. We think that's a solvable problem. Civic Compass is built on one conviction: voters deserve accurate information about who actually represents their values — and candidates deserve a direct line to the voters who agree with them.
What's coming
Voter quiz with candidate matching
10 policy questions, follow-up depth on key topics, skip and "tell me more" on every question. Private, nonpartisan, free.
Verified candidate profiles
Candidates verify their identity and answer questions directly — in their own words, on the record. No third-party interpretation.
Community topic suggestions
Suggest issues that matter to you. Vote on what others have suggested. Top topics are reviewed and published quarterly.
Local race coverage
School boards, city councils, county races. The elections that affect daily life most directly — and where voters have the least information.
Position change tracking
When a candidate updates their answer, both versions stay on record with dates. No quiet edits. Full transparency, always.
For candidates
Civic Compass gives verified candidates a direct channel to the voters who share their values. Answer questions in your own words. Add context to any position. Your responses are matched with voters automatically — and displayed publicly, on the record.
