MatchUp
Find your candidates.
Answer questions about the issues you care about and see which candidates share your values — from school board all the way up.
How MatchUp will work.
Step 1
Answer the questions
An issue-based quiz of 15–20 questions, with importance weighting so the issues you care most about count for more.
Step 2
See the overlap
A percentage match with every candidate in your races, plus a plain explanation of where you agree and where you don't.
Step 3
Check the receipts
Each match links out to more candidate information, so you can judge the source yourself instead of trusting a score.
Built for how young people actually use this.
- A quiz flow built for a phone first
- Results you can share to Instagram stories
- Issues framed for young people — student debt, climate, mental health
- Simple language, no jargon
- Visual results, not a wall of text
MatchUp will not tell you who to vote for.
It compares your answers to what candidates have said on the record and shows you where they overlap. It doesn't rank candidates by quality, endorse anyone, or hide the ones you disagree with. The ballot is still yours.
