To RSVP and hear Daily Telegraph Journalist Ben Brogan, Unlock Democracy Director, Peter Facey tell you more about the quiz, please go to www.votematch.eventbrite.com    Places are strictly limited.

For many voters, especially first time voters, we recognise that often it is not obvious which party best represents their views.  Vote Match invites people to answer some straightforward questions, asks them which issues matter most to them and then provides them with the best match to the political party which is closest to their views. 

All too often politicians talk at people.  Vote Match is simple, fun and puts voters at the centre of the process.  Vote Match is an interactive online quiz which has four aims:

• To be fun.
• To help raise awareness about the policy differences between political parties on the issues that matter most to those using the site.
• To help people come to a decision as to how and whether they should vote by providing a match based on their answers to a number of policy statements on the issues they rank as most important to them
• To encourage democratic participation and political engagement

There are three things that make this project unique to any of its rivals.

1. The statements are devised with the help of an independent academic panel based at Goldsmiths, University of London
2. The political parties themselves fill out the answers to the statements  
3. The project is politically neutral and has an Advisory Board chaired by Sam Younger, former chair of the Electoral Commission.

This will be the third version of Vote Match Unlock Democracy has run in the past two years. Over 100,000 people have used previous versions produced for the London Mayoral and European elections, meaning Vote Match has developed a national reputation for being the UK’s leading independent source of information about the differences between political parties.

We look forward to seeing you at the launch.  Please go to www.votematch.eventbrite.com to RSVP
