smartvote.ch
Online voting aid that matches voters' political positions with candidates and party lists in Swiss elections
About smartvote.ch
smartvote is an online voting aid. Voters answer an election-specific questionnaire on a range of political topics and compare their positions with those of candidates or parties/lists, receiving a voting recommendation.
It is developed and operated by Politools, a politically neutral, non-profit association. Voters are the main users, and candidates maintain smartvote profiles. The project is funded in part by donations.
The project dates to 2003 and has supported more than 350 elections at local, cantonal and national level in Switzerland. It has also been used in elections abroad, including in Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Australia, Austria and Kosovo. Related projects include smartmonitor, which tracks the Swiss Parliament, and Newstest.ch, a media literacy self-assessment test.
Product: Election-specific online questionnaire that compares voters' positions with candidates or parties/lists and gives a voting recommendation.
