At this point in the election season, it’s unlikely that US voters are still undecided about who they’ll cast a vote for next week.

But just in case there are any undecided voters still out there, Voter is the app for you.

Voter, which launched earlier this year, is trying to change how people engage with politics.

“Today, especially when it comes to elections, voting comes down to supporting a single candidate,” said Hunter Scarborough, the founder of Voter, told Global Citizen.

“With the way our political system is set up with two major parties, a lot of voters end up supporting whichever candidate represents their party without completely understanding what that candidate’s stance is on the issues.”

“Voter reverses that by prompting users for their opinion on specific issues and then presenting the candidates, ranked in order of agreement,” he said. “Voter works to take away the boxes that the party system puts voters into and instead show users where they lie on the entire political spectrum.”

As users swiped right and left on a range of issues these past several months, Voter gathered insights into the the values and preferences of the US public.

Throughout this election season, Voter has gathered nearly a million responses to its questions. So far, 31.9% of users have been matched with the Democratic party, 27.5% have been matched as Republican, 15.5% as Green, 14.4% as Independent, and 10.7% as Constitution.

Precise demographic information on the users is not available but, because it’s an app, the user base skews younger.

“Millennials are often portrayed as very liberal when it comes to politics, but what really surprised me about users’ preferences is that the split between Republican and Democrat has stayed relatively equal throughout the entire election,” said Scarborough.

“It really opened my eyes to see beyond what the media and the polls were saying about Millennials and start to do my own research into where the country is going as Millennials become more influential than other generations.”

With this in mind, here are the top 10 surprising outcomes from the data set.


1/ 60% of users do not support Black Lives Matter.


2/ 65% of users think Edward Snowden should be pardoned.
