Voter Is Like a Dating App for Finding the Right Political Candidate
iOS: With so many different candidates with years of political experience, studying politics and studying politicians can be overwhelming. The voter simplifies this by viewing it as a date.
First, a small disclaimer. You probably shouldn’t select political candidates based on a simple application. You also probably shouldn’t vote for someone based on the same process you use for dating. That being said, Voter is a decent way to learn the fundamentals of politics to start your research in the right direction. The app is designed to make policy learning more accessible. The interface is similar to that of Tinder.
Once downloaded, the app asks you a series of basic questions about your political views. From here you will find out how close you are to any political party and its candidates. When you click on any politician, the app gives you a quick summary of where they are on a range of issues from health care to capital punishment and domestic drilling. The app also provides information on their main contributors, a candidate CV and their key quotes.
Of course, choosing a political candidate is not about dating. Unlike dating, you can’t just pick a candidate, find out that they are failing, and then end the relationship. The only way to compare voting and dating in this app is through its interface. This is obvious, but deserves special attention.
You want to be an informed, educated voter. But this app can point you in the right direction to find out more about the various candidates. See for yourself using the link below.
