Take the survey
Built around the voters, not the parties.
Hey Voter is on a mission to put voters back at the center of democracy: to help every one of us understand the values we share, and start closing the divides that politics keeps widening.
The loudest voices set the terms, and the rest of us learn to keep quiet. Talking politics has become something we avoid, which leaves us assuming the worst about each other and never finding out we were wrong.
Avoid talking politics
They self-censor: they dodge the conversation, or hold back what they really think.
Follow it more than any topic
Government and politics news outranks science, business, and sports.
Worn out by division
An "exhausted majority", tired of the fighting and open to finding common ground.
We are not apathetic. We have been handed a politics that pays off division and leaves everything we share unsaid.
Our mission
Not just some voters, and not just the middle. Every voter.
Hey Voter exists to give voters their voice back. It starts from where we agree, grounded in the priorities we share, and turns the attention away from the parties and back to the people they are meant to represent.
And we are building it for participation, not just to be followed, and for engagement throughout the whole cycle between election days. We are focusing on the stats and the record over the rhetoric, and making information as clear and engaging as the coverage we already follow. We are building Hey Voter to be a thriving platform to support the mission and make it last.
How it works
Every profile is drawn on the same values, starting from you at the center: how far your Care, sense of Time, Fairness, and Reach extend. Lay any two profiles over each other and the shared area is your common ground, measured rather than assumed.
The shaded area is your common ground: where your values already agree. It is almost always larger than the fight suggests.
Start here
The first thing we are building and sharing is the personalized Values Profile. Take a few moments to select the statements that describe what matters to you, see your Values Profile, and help shape the profile while the project is still taking form.

No side to land on and no right answer. Every voter and every value is treated as legitimate, with no red or blue baked in.
Always on in the long stretches between elections, not just when the ads are loud. Civic life is more than a ballot every few years.
Voting records, positions, and stats you can check for yourself, presented straight rather than spun.
Organized around the individual voter and what you value, not a party, a donor, or an institution.
