What is it?
Vote Compass is an online tool that can help you answer that question as election day approaches. By filling out a simple questionnaire, you can compare your views to the positions of the federal parties. It takes just a few minutes.
How does it work?
Vote Compass asks you questions on some political issues. You'll also be asked about your impressions of the federal leaders. It's that easy!
When you're done, Vote Compass will produce a graph showing your electoral position. You'll see which party is closest to your views — and which is furthest away. At that point, Vote Compass lets you filter out issues that are less important to you. So if you care more about the economy and health care, it will calculate your position on the chart, and the positions of the parties, too.
The CBC is the site's exclusive media partner, but Vote Compass operates independently. Its questions were developed and chosen by a team of leading academics, including some of Canada's top political scientists.
