Few things are more frustrating than showing up to vote and realizing that, other than the candidates at the top of the ballot, you don't even recognize the names on the ballot. Worse yet, even if you manage to research all of the candidates in advance you still can't be sure that you are getting authentic information from verified sources.
We built VOHTE to address both of these problems. Our stance is that all eligible voters should get informed and show up to vote, and we designed our tool to reduce the information barriers so that every citizen can do just that. VOHTE is a single point of contact for voters to view their ballot and receive relevant information about each candidate in order to assist with them making an informed decision on election day. Our patent-protected process ensures that all campaigns that are generating content on the platform have been verified, and that therefore the information you see is always authentic.
