Express Yourself

OurVote will make sure you can express yourself, the way you want to, on any topic.

Importantly, our questionnaires will ensure you only answer questions on the topics you care about, to the depth that you want to engage.

Our goal is to let you engage on your areas of passion, as they change throughout your lives. This will enable data that shows recency and relevance.

Compare Yourself

Citizens will be able to see how they compare to their electorate, political parties and the current law (i.e. if their beliefs align to existing laws or not).

We will also enable comparison by demographic criteria, where this is considered relevant to the policy area. Examples include: education, aged care, women's or men's health etc.

Review Voting Record

Citizens will be able to review their elected official's "voting alignment score", which reviews their total voting record against citizen data for the electorate.

They will also be able to review each vote in detail, to see whether the vote aligned to the beliefs of the the electorate and review explanations from the elected member as to why they voted that way.

Citizens can interact with their official inside the platform, share the data, or use it to hold the official accountable at the next election.

Notifications You Want

OurVote wants to make participating in democracy as hassle-free as possible.

Our main notification will come at every election, asking you to engage, review your elected official and compare incoming candidates.

We'll also invite you to engage with a special topic once a month, with the ability to take 2-20 minutes of your time to dive deeper on how you'd like that part of your democracy to run.

Lastly, where a vote comes before Parliament that has weak data, we will send you an information package with a pop-quiz to try and support your elected official with as much data as possible prior to the vote.
