Before you choose

What to check before you choose.

A useful profile separates verified facts, public claims and missing information. Nothing on whyVote is an endorsement.

01

Public record

Offices previously held, public voting and governance records, where available.

02

Published priorities

Manifesto, policy proposals and documented campaign commitments.

03

Evidence and sources

Primary sources, publication dates and corrections so you can check claims.

Ask better questions.

What decisions does this office control?

What has the candidate proposed?

How can their statements be verified?

What is still unknown?

Put your thumb on it.

Pledge to vote on both Saturdays. You get your own ballot summary straight away, a reminder to collect your PVC, and a nudge in the final week. Nothing else.
