InformYourVote.com is a non-partisan, ad-free web platform that enables voters to easily access and compare candidate positions on important issues with short videos provided by campaigns or excerpted from publicly accessible debates.

For the 2026 congressional midterms, we are providing democracy-enhancing candidate video debate coverage on three affordability-related questions (housing, health care and cost of living)  for the 21 closest House of Representatives races and the 13 closest U.S. Senate races.

InformYourVote.com’s transparency-enhancing platform first launched in 2021 for the New York City ranked-choice mayoral primary election (viewable here), which attracted the largest viewing audience of any online voter resource. In a race won by less than 1% of the 900,000 votes cast, more than 150,000 New Yorkers viewed 320,000 short candidate videos on InformYourVote.org’s YouTube channel.

More than $10 billion will be spent by candidates running in this year’s midterms, most of it on AI-targeted political ads, paid for by big money donors. These short, uninforming ads rarely say anything about what laws candidates would actually support to benefit their constituents after they are elected.

On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, InformYourVote.com calls on our fellow Americans to declare independence from a political education system based on paid advertising, and instead, be the change you want to see by informing your vote.
