Your country has never needed you more. With so many fellow citizens consumed by anger and cynicism, we take a different road. Vote Smart may actually be the most positive, uplifting and sorely-needed creation of our time.
We are the solution to an increasingly cynical world. Vote Smart represents what thinking Americans can do to stay heartened and to keep our democracy hard on track: a source of accurate, abundant information on those who govern or those who wish to replace those who do. We provide voters the facts, just the facts, without interpretation.
As U S News and World Report says: “Vote Smart would make the Founders weep with joy!”
As misinformation continues to plague political dialogue, Vote Smart is continuing toward a brighter future by providing nonpartisan political facts to the public. Research Associates are the backbone of this effort. With over 13 million users in the 2020 elections, Research Associates help improve democracy across the country. Exceptional applicants may find themselves with opportunities to help manage and develop programs within months of their start date.
Examples of programs that the researcher may be involved with are:
Expectations: Ideal applicants will have a good understanding of government and politics, a solid knowledge of current events, experience in researching political issues, exceptional web searching skills, and experience with normalizing data. Those that are highly self-motivated, willing to help out wherever needed, organized, detailed-oriented, committed to self-improvement, and in possession of a strong work ethic do not need to have related experience.
