Local elections often see a significant turnout drop compared to national races. That means every single vote matters more. A WeVote Candidate Profile is a free, trusted, and fast way to make sure voters know who you are before they cast their ballot. Claim your pre-populated profile today — and make sure no opportunity is wasted.

The Challenge: Voters Are Busy

Picture this: a voter sits down with their ballot. They recognize the big-ticket races but not every local name. Without clear, accessible information, many skip those races altogether. According to the National Civic League, only 15 to 27 percent of eligible voters across the U.S. cast a ballot in their local elections. When fewer people vote, every single informed vote carries more weight.

For candidates, this gap is not just about missed votes. It is about missed chances to connect with neighbors who want to know your story and your priorities.

WeVote: A Free, High-Impact Solution

WeVote is a nonpartisan, nonprofit platform that helps voters learn about the people on their ballot. For candidates, it is a fast, no-cost way to make sure your message reaches the right people at the right time.

Here is what your WeVote Candidate Profile delivers:

Visibility where it matters: Voters are already using WeVote to research before they vote. Your claimed and updated profile ensures they see you in that crucial moment.

Your voice, your story: Add your headshot, your official statement, your campaign website, and three priority issues in just minutes. No filters, no spin, just your message.

Credibility with voters: WeVote is neutral and trusted. By being present, you show accessibility and build confidence with voters across the political spectrum.

Efficiency for your campaign: Most local campaigns have limited funds. A WeVote profile gives you a professional digital presence at no cost, freeing up resources for in-person efforts like door-knocking or community events.

Direct access to engaged voters: The people searching on WeVote are the ones who are preparing to vote. These are the citizens most likely to be decisive in your race.

Why Acting Now Matters

Every day your profile goes unclaimed, voters who are actively searching may pass over your name without learning about you. Your opponents may already be there. With turnout lower in local elections, the margin for success can be razor thin. A claimed WeVote profile can make the difference between being overlooked and being chosen.
