FAQ

How the tool works

  • 01

    Can the AI register me to vote?

    No. The AI can find registration deadlines, but you must complete the registration process yourself through your local government.

  • 02

    Does the AI know my political party affiliation?

    The AI only knows what is provided via the voter information tool for your specific address; it does not track your personal voting history.

  • 03

    Can I change my polling location through the AI?

    No. The AI can only report where you are currently assigned to vote.

  • 04

    Is this information always up to date?

    The AI pulls from official civic data, but local officials can change polling sites at any time. Always verify with your local election office.

  • 05

    Can the AI vote for me?

    No. The AI is strictly for information retrieval.
