LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- VoteMate, a nonprofit organization that provides a free, non-partisan AI ballot assistant, has partnered with USAFacts to enhance the accuracy and reliability of information available to voters. This collaboration aims to bring government data directly into voters' ballot research, providing a more informed and trustworthy experience.
According to VoteMate's founder and CEO, Alex Iovine, the partnership is crucial in an era where AI-generated election information is often riddled with inaccuracies.
In its May 2026 NewsBench evaluation, Forum AI reported that 90% of tested responses to midterm election questions contained at least one material flaw, including a factual error, partisan lean, or citation to a foreign state-controlled outlet. This finding underscores the importance of deliberately choosing trustworthy sources and building safeguards around how AI uses them.
The integration of USAFacts into VoteMate's platform will provide voters with real government statistics and nonpartisan analysis. USAFacts draws exclusively from government data websites, making the information easier to access and understand. It will accompany VoteMate's existing connection to Ballotpedia, bringing government statistics and election information together within the same voter experience.
The partnership between VoteMate and USAFacts aims to provide voters with more context for the questions that naturally come up while researching a ballot. For example, voters can ask about how prices have changed, what the government spends on healthcare, and what the numbers show about education. USAFacts provides factual context that can help voters understand the issues, ask better follow-up questions, and make sense of the choices in front of them.
VoteMate is built specifically for voters, connecting an AI conversation to the candidates and measures on each person's ballot. Its approach combines direct access to trustworthy, non-partisan data, source citations, and safeguards designed to support non-partisan answers. The USAFacts integrated connector expands that foundation, prioritizing relevant government statistics and non-partisan analysis over relying solely on general web results.
Voters can try VoteMate for free at votemate.io, with no account required. The platform is available nationwide on the web, iOS, and Android. VoteMate is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit making it easier for voters to understand what's on their ballot and make informed decisions. Its free, nonpartisan AI ballot assistant gives voters a personalized way to explore candidates, ballot measures, and key issues through plain-language conversations grounded in trusted, cited sources. Built specifically for elections, VoteMate helps voters find the information and context they need without telling them how to vote.
USAFacts provides an online resource of well-visualized data and trends in US spending, revenue, demographics, and more to help ground public debate in facts. It produces topical content each week and produces three annual reports: State of the Union, 10-K, and America in Facts: A Data-Driven Report to Congress. Both organizations are featured at the top of Ad Fontes Media's Media Bias Chart for reliability.
