How this helps you decide
A campaign is usually leaflets and slogans. Here the same five things happen in the open, on the record, where you can check them against each other.
Candidates’ positions on the issues
Every candidate answers the same issues in their own words, and it stays published for the whole campaign. You read their answers to one question together instead of piecing a view together from leaflets, and nobody can quietly tell one street something different from the next.
Issue rankings
Anyone following the election drags the issues into their own order of importance. The averages show what this community actually wants dealt with — which is worth knowing before you vote, and worth knowing if you are asking for the vote.
Issue discussions
Each issue carries a discussion anyone can read and any signed-in resident can join. Ask a candidate the awkward question in public, and the answer — or the silence — is there for everyone to see until polling day.
Questions for the candidates
Sign in and pose a question — “if this landed on your desk, what would you do?” Every candidate is emailed it, and each answer is published with the time it was given and cannot be changed. Follow the election and you hear as each one comes in.
Polls
Candidates put a question to the public and everyone watches the answers build. Not a vote and not a prediction — a way to show how much support an idea really has, before it turns into a promise.
Running an election?
Set one up and every candidate gets their own platform page, the issues get a discussion and a ranking, and the whole thing stays in one place that voters can check. You add the positions and the candidates; they write their own platforms.
