Vote Compass launches in Australia

October 8, 2013

Vote Compass, an online electoral literacy tool, was most recently used by over a million Australians during the 2013 federal election. Developed and run by several political science PhD candidates, Vote Compass launched into Australia in partnership with the Australian Broadcast Company (ABC).

“It’s been a huge success,” says Clifton van der Linden, founder and executive director of Vote Compass. “It’s our first genuine international foray and speaks well of the tool’s global relevance.”

Within the first 72 hours of its launch, Vote Compass was the most visited page on the ABC website. In just three days, 500,000 people answered questions to see how they were plotted on the Australian political spectrum, and how their opinions aligned with the platforms of the major political parties.
