Texas Votes matches candidates to your values, not your party. Every design decision is made to keep the experience fair for all voters — regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum.
Candidates and answer options are shuffled every time so position on screen never creates bias.
Republican and Democratic ballots are generated simultaneously with identical AI prompts and formatting. For undecided voters, even the loading order is randomized.
Party affiliation is intentionally hidden from candidate cards so you evaluate candidates on their positions, not partisan identity.
Recommendations are based on your stated issues, priorities, and candidate qualities — not party registration.
Every question is framed neutrally. Answer options are shuffled. The spectrum picker says "No wrong answers."
Goes beyond left/right: Progressive, Liberal, Moderate, Conservative, Libertarian, and Independent. Moderate and Independent voters are never auto-assigned a party.
Every proposition shows supporters AND opponents, fiscal impact, outcomes if it passes or fails, and includes a "Your Call" option for genuinely contested issues.
Every AI prompt includes an explicit NONPARTISAN instruction block requiring: factual, issue-based reasoning only; no partisan framing or loaded terms; equal analytical rigor for all candidates regardless of position; and recommendations connected to the voter's specific stated values — never to party-line assumptions. Disclaimers appear on every recommendation screen. Confidence levels (Strong Match, Good Match, Best Available) prevent false certainty.
All candidates are cross-referenced against official filings from the Texas Secretary of State, county clerks, and Ballotpedia. Candidate data includes positions, endorsements, strengths, and concerns — presented with equal depth for every candidate in a race.
All Spanish translations are reviewed for partisan bias. Proposition titles and descriptions use identical grammatical structures for both parties. Data terms (candidate names, positions) stay in English for accuracy; only the display layer is translated.
Every screen says "Do your own research before voting." The app is a starting point, not the final word.
All data stays on your device. We collect only anonymous page-view counts (via Cloudflare Web Analytics — no cookies, no personal data). No tracking, no ads. Your political views are never stored on our servers.
The full prompt sent to the AI and every design decision is documented. Nothing is hidden.
