Alpha — actively under development.

This site is in early development. Content is AI-generated and may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Always follow the source links provided and apply your own critical judgment — do not rely solely on the summaries shown here.

Our Mission

Democracy works best when voters have access to clear, unbiased information about candidates and their positions. Smarter.vote uses automated research from public sources and presents candidate positions in an easy-to-understand format with traceable citations, helping voters make informed decisions based on the issues that matter most to them.

How We Work

Source Discovery

We automatically discover and collect information from candidate websites, voting records, public speeches, position papers, and other publicly available sources.

AI Analysis

Research agents (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok) independently analyze the collected information to extract candidate positions on key issues. This multi-model approach helps ensure accuracy and reduce bias.

Transparency

Every position includes confidence ratings and links to the original sources, so you can verify the information yourself and understand how certain we are about each stance.

Key Issues We Cover

• Healthcare
• Economy
• Climate/Energy
• Abortion & Reproductive Health
• Immigration
• Firearms & Second Amendment

• Foreign Policy
• Civil Rights & Equality
• Education
• Tech & AI
• Election Policy

Important Disclaimers

Verify Information: While we strive for accuracy, always verify information by visiting candidate websites directly. Candidate positions may evolve, and our analysis reflects information available at the time of processing.

AI Limitations: AI analysis, while sophisticated, may occasionally misinterpret complex positions or nuanced statements. Confidence ratings help indicate our certainty level for each position.

No Endorsements: Smarter.vote does not endorse candidates or political parties. Our goal is to present factual information to help you make your own informed decisions.

Public Sources Only: We only analyze publicly available information. Private communications, internal documents, or off-the-record statements are not included in our analysis.

Who's Behind This?
