Selecting the Right Political Candidate

With so many politicians debating so many important issues, voters can have a difficult time choosing the candidate who best represents their views. In fact, some voters become so overwhelmed trying to find the right candidate that they don't show up to the polls on Election Day.

While choosing a candidate who most closely aligns with your beliefs can be difficult, it isn't impossible. By comparing your opinions and values with the political stances of a variety of politicians, you can find and support the proper politician.

In the past, comparing politicians meant listening to numerous debates, reading a plethora of political materials and trying to decipher mountains of campaign materials. Today, however, you can compare the political views of politicians and find the right candidate for you in just a few seconds.

Thanks to Matt Waterman and his Pick Your Candidate tool, selecting a political candidate now takes only a few clicks of the mouse!

Using the Pick Your Candidate Tool

You will be presented with a list of issues. In order to pair you with the proper candidate, you must choose whether you support or oppose an issue. If you are unsure, choose unknown/other. The number of points given or taken depends on the weight you set.

After you complete the questionnaire, click the Go button. On the next screen, you will see a list of candidates. The candidates are listed in descending order, from those whose views most closely align with your views to those whose views are least like your political views.

The items listed directly underneath each candidate (if he or she scores greater than zero) are the items on which you and the candidate disagree.

Using the Pick Your Candidate Tool is an easy way to see which politician matches closely with your ideals. If you like this tool and it works for you, make sure you share it with a friend!
