Smartvote.ie
A WEBSITE has popped up that could give undecided General Election 2016 voters a helping hand figuring out who to give their vote to.
Smartvote.ie is an app and website that asks 30 questions ranging from health, immigration, Job Bridge and abortion.
Users can rank each issue by level of importance to them.
Those answers are matched with the views of each candidate in the constituency, all of which have been asked to provide answers to the site.
It must be noted that in Kerry, independents Michael Healy Rae and Henry Gaynor views are not represented because they have as yet to provide any answers to Smart Vote.
Also, Tom Fleming remains on the list despite pulling out last Friday.
To take the test, on the homepage you will be greeted by a search bar, type in the area or street you live in as opposed to the county/constituency.
After completing the questions and getting your closest matched candidates, you can run through some of the answers given by candidates for each issue.
Developed by the UCD innovation academy, Smart Vote describes itself as the ‘Tinder for politics’. In the last two weeks the site has had over 40,000 new users.
