Vote Smart

Vote Smart (formerly known as Project Vote Smart), founded and endorsed by nationally recognized thought leaders such as former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, is currently utilized by major search platforms and media outlets like Bing, USA Today and National Journal. Vote Smart is the premier non-partisan, non-profit citizen-driven organization devoted to voter education. It is funded entirely by tax-deductible contributions from individuals and charitable foundations. The "Voter’s Self-Defense System"​ now allows ordinary citizens to access biographical information, issue positions, voting records, public statements, interest groups ratings, and campaign financing information from current elected officials and candidates all at www.votesmart.org or over the Voter's Research Hotline at 1-888-VOTE-SMART. In addition, citizens may find trusted information on issues, legislation, voter registration, and other political resources.
