How Does This App Work?

The Election Compass works by comparing the opinions you enter to those given by candidates and parties. The results are given a match score, which is the percentage of how closely you agree with them.

• A score of 100 means that you agree completely on all the questions you have answered.
• A score of 0 means that you disagree on all of the questions.
• A score between these two extremes means you agree on some questions and disagree on others.

Party Matching

The party scores are calculated based on the the median of their candidates’ answers.

Note that candidates may disagree on some questions with their party, and the estimated party answers may therefore differ from the parties’ official stances.
