Vote Compass: Where do you stand?

Vote Compass is an award-winning application used by millions of people during election campaigns worldwide.

It asks a series of questions about one’s political views and then calculates how well they align with each of the candidates running in an election campaign.

Vote Compass has been run in dozens of elections in partnership with some of the world's most respected media organizations.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the response [to Vote Compass] which has far exceeded our expectations. Vote Compass has positioned the ABC very well in this campaign.

There is no doubt that Vote Compass has been one of the hits of the campaign, and a great feather in the cap for the ABC in terms of policy engagement.

As the public broadcaster we have an obligation around engaging Canadians in democracy and seemed to me that [Vote Compass] was the perfect tool to do that.
