Topic of the Week

How to Evaluate a Candidate Before Voting

Use these questions and answers to make a fair, informed and evidence-based choice.

What candidate information should I verify?

Confirm the candidate's identity, political party or independent status, the office being contested and the constituency or ward. Compare profile claims with official electoral records and credible public sources.

How can I compare candidates fairly?

Apply the same standards to every candidate. Review their experience, public record, policy priorities, ability to explain how plans will be funded and willingness to be transparent and accountable.

Should political party affiliation decide my vote?

Party affiliation can help explain a candidate's broad policy direction, but it is only one factor. Also consider the individual candidate's qualifications, conduct, local priorities and proposed solutions.

How can I identify election misinformation?

Check who published the claim, when it was published and whether it cites evidence. Cross-check important information with electoral authorities, official candidate channels and more than one credible news source before sharing it.
