stemwijze

Stemwijze is a Dutch online tool designed to help voters make informed decisions during elections. Its primary function is to present a voter's stance on various political issues and then compare that stance to the positions of different political parties participating in the election. Users typically answer a series of questions about their opinions on topics such as the economy, immigration, environment, healthcare, and education. The platform then calculates a match score or alignment percentage for each party based on how closely their stated policies and manifestos align with the user's responses.

The goal of Stemwijze is to provide a neutral and objective overview, allowing individuals to discover which parties best represent their political views. It is not intended to endorse any particular party but rather to empower voters with information. The questions are generally based on the official party programs and common political debates. Users can often see the specific questions they agreed or disagreed with and how each party responded, facilitating a deeper understanding of party platforms beyond simple headlines. Stemwijze is a non-profit initiative often run by volunteers or civic organizations.
