Election Check
What information do I need to provide to check my voter registration in Election Check?
You just need to enter your zip code and birthday. The app will then display your voter registration status, making it quick and easy to confirm you're all set to vote.
Does Election Check show sample ballots and polling place changes?
Yes, it provides a sample ballot preview with candidate names and official blurbs, and its polling place finder is accurate. For example, it alerted one user that their usual polling location was closed and gave the new address with a map.
The app keeps crashing when I try to look up early voting hours. What should I do?
First, try updating the app or restarting your phone. If the issue persists, use the 'Contact Us' link in the app, though be aware that responses can take a few days and may direct you to a general FAQ page rather than a specific fix.
Can I make the text larger in Election Check? The menus are hard to read.
Currently, Election Check doesn't have a built-in text size adjustment, and some menus can be unclear. As a workaround, you can use your phone's system accessibility settings to enlarge the display, which may help with readability.
How does Election Check compare to other voter info apps like BallotReady or Vote.org?
Election Check is simpler and less cluttered than many competitors, focusing on essentials like registration status, polling places, and sample ballots. However, it lacks the detailed candidate research tools of apps like BallotReady and has slower, less helpful customer support compared to Vote.org.
