Ever wondered which party’s positions actually match your own? That’s exactly what Voting Aid Applications (VAAs), think Wahl-O-Mat, StemWijzer, or Stemtest, help millions of voters figure out. VoteMatch International brings together the world’s leading experts in the field, sharing state-of-the-art knowledge to help democracies with limited VAA experience or funding build high-quality voting tools of their own.

Join this session to explore how VAAs inform and motivate voters, young and old, with representatives from trials and test runs in Germany, Belgium, Armenia and South Africa sharing their experiences and learnings, including the recent case of the Armenian elections as a live example of VAAs in action. We’ll also open the floor to discuss how a VAA could work in your own country, wherever that may be.
