Good ideas catch on:
online voting tools that compare one's own position with that of parties are
popular today in many European countries.
Now all European ‘Vote Matchers’ have been united to achieve a common
purpose:
to inform citizens of parties, issues, and programmes,
and to get them excited about the upcoming European Parliament
election.

Why Vote Match?
October 2012 representatives of 10 Vote Matches from countries all over
Europe met. They agreed on trying to realize a Vote Match for the
European elections in 2014. At this moment the challenge is to find the
necessary funding for making this ‘ pan-European’ Vote Match.
The ultimate goal is to realize a Vote Match for all 27 member states of
the European Union. To reach this goal, we need to find organisations
in the ‘ missing’ countries to do this with us. If you work at such an
organisation, please contact [link to page Contact] us and join our
project.

Grundtvig
In 2012 seven organisations who make Vote Matches in different
European countries received a funding on behalf of the Grundtvig
program. This program from the European Commission aims to
help develop the adult education sector, as well as enable more
people to undertake learning experiences, notably in other
European countries. The makers of Vote Matches will meet each
other several times in 2012 and 2013 to discuss current issues
and to exchange experiences.

Aim of Vote Match
Vote Match is an educational tool. It has the potential to promote
European citizenship, to better inform citizens about elections for the
European Parliament (EP), teach voters about the programmatic
differences between the contesting parties and to increase the voter
turn out. By realizing Vote Match in all EU-member states not only a
network between organizations in all participating EU-countries will be
established, but also a platform will appear through which all users can
get acquainted to the different opinions on all important European
issues in the participating countries.
