Helping New Yorkers make informed voting decisions
PollBuddy is a non-partisan platform designed to help New York City residents understand where mayoral candidates stand on key issues. Our goal is to simplify the voting process by matching voters with candidates who share their values and policy preferences.
Through our interactive quizzes, we aim to increase voter engagement and help citizens make more informed choices at the ballot box. We believe that democracy works best when voters understand the positions of those running for office.
Our NYC Mayoral Match Quiz presents you with a series of statements on important issues facing the city. For each statement, you can indicate whether you agree, disagree, or wish to skip. Based on your responses, we calculate which candidates' positions most closely align with your own.
The candidate stances are determined through careful research of their public statements, voting records, campaign platforms, and debate performances. We strive to present their positions accurately and without bias.
PollBuddy was created by a small team of civic-minded technologists and political scientists who believe in the power of informed voting. We are not affiliated with any political party, candidate, or campaign.
Our diverse team brings together expertise in political science, data analysis, and user experience design to create a tool that is both informative and easy to use.
