About VoteSmart.ai

VoteSmart.ai is designed to make political party election platforms easily accessible and understandable for voters. Instead of sifting through massive PDFs or navigating cluttered websites, users can quickly find clear and concise policy information powered by AI.

By leveraging advanced technology, VoteSmart.ai ensures that voters get direct insights from the parties themselves rather than relying on social media, which is often filled with misinformation and external influence.

About the Creator

VoteSmart.ai was created by me, Kevin Grandia, a communications expert with a passion for politics and technology. With years of experience in political communications and digital strategy,

I have heard so for so long  about the challenges voters face in accessing reliable election platform details. I built VoteSmart.ai to bridge the gap between political parties and the public, ensuring that democracy is fueled by informed decision-making.

I also run Spake Media, a digital marketing and AI agency I started in 2011. We collaborate with advocacy and non-profit organizations around the world on digital strategy and communications. 

And yes, for those who will no doubt think there is some big AI conspiracy going on here, I have been employed in various positions in both a federal and provincial Liberal government almost 20 years ago. I have not had any official ties with either of those parties since then.
