The pre-Election Day cram session, we’ve all been there.

On your laptop are a million open tabs including Google, Twitter, your party’s voting guide, and some of your favorite partisan blogs and resources. Laid out on the table are your local voting pamphlet, mail-in ballot, and of course your cell phone in case you need to text your politically woke friend for advice.

As you go through each contest on your mail-in ballot, tearing through Google links trying to figure out whether you identify with one candidate over the other, you ask to yourself:

Why is it so difficult to find unbiased information on politicians?

We agree — it shouldn’t be this hard.

Which is exactly why we created Voterly, the first comprehensive political database, designed to help modern day Americans make quick and informed voting decisions.

With Voterly, you can browse elected officials by state or enter your address to get a personalized list of your local, state, and federal representatives.

From a Politician’s Voterly profile, you can quickly browse career experience, campaign finance summaries, find contact information and more.

Using our Voter Tools, you can check your voter registration status and sign up for monitoring to get notified of any updates including changes to party affiliation or being dropped from the voter rolls. Read more about Voter Purging During the 2018 Midterms, here.

This is just the beginning for Voterly.

As part of our vision to help modern day Americans make quick and informed voting decisions, we’re leveraging the latest technologies to make politics more personal. Soon, you will be able to browse and compare politicians based on the issues that matter most to you, receive personalized voting recommendations for candidates you most closely align with, and more.
