The Problem 😫 Most people want to stay civically engaged, but the barriers are high. Legislation is written in "legalese" that’s impossible to read, finding out which candidate actually aligns with your values is a research project, and contacting your representatives often feels like shouting into a void. Plus, with the rise of disinformation, knowing what’s true is harder than ever. The Solution: Votee 🗳️ Votee (pronounced vote-ee) is a digital, hyper-local application that brings your community to your phone. We’ve built the tools to make civic participation easy, transparent, and direct. Key Features ✨ 📄 1-Page Bill Summarizer: No more 500-page PDFs. Get concise, easy-to-understand summaries of legislation so you know exactly what’s being proposed. 🤝 Candidate Matching: Create a private voter profile and instantly see which representatives running for office actually share your priorities. 📣 Direct Contact to Reps: Ask questions about legislation directly to the people who wrote it. No more generic contact forms—real engagement. 🚨 Issue Alerts: Get notified the moment an issue you care about is being debated or voted on in your local or state government. 🛡️ Combat Disinformation: We partner with state and local committees to provide verified information, ensuring you’re making decisions based on facts, not noise. Why We Built This 🚀 Democracy shouldn't be a full-time job. We believe that if you make civic data accessible and communication direct, more people will participate. Votee is about empowering you to take your community on the go and ensuring your voice is heard at every level of government. The Team 🛠️ Developed by FaaStr, we are dedicated to using technology to make elections safer, more secure, and more inclusive.
