View company profile

We Vote is a non-profit technology startup dedicated to revolutionizing the voting experience in the United States. Operating as a nonpartisan, open-source platform, the organization aims to empower voters by providing them with comprehensive and accessible information to make informed decisions on Election Day. Founded on the principle that every citizen should have the tools to vote according to their values, We Vote develops digital voter guides that are personalized to the issues individuals care about and influenced by the people and organizations they trust. The platform is designed to cut through the noise and complexity of political campaigns, offering clarity on candidates and ballot measures from the top of the ticket down to local races. By aggregating data and opinions from a wide range of sources, We Vote helps users understand the full scope of what is on their ballot.

The organization is structured as two fully nonpartisan nonprofit entities, a 501(c)(3) and a 501(c)(4), and is based in Oakland, California. Inspired by successful civic technology organizations like Code for America and the Mozilla Foundation, We Vote leverages technology to strengthen democracy by increasing voter turnout. A significant aspect of We Vote's operational model is its reliance on a large and dedicated team of volunteers. With over 100 volunteers contributing to the project, the organization embodies a community-driven approach to civic engagement. These volunteers are instrumental in compiling and verifying endorsement data for every election, ensuring the platform remains a reliable resource. We Vote's commitment to being nonpartisan is a core tenet, recognizing that voters and their networks are complex and that voting decisions are rarely based on a single issue. The platform's open-source nature invites collaboration and continuous improvement from a community of developers and civic-minded individuals, all working towards a future where no one misses the opportunity to vote due to a lack of information.
