The gubernatorial election is only two months away. Do you know who you’re voting for?
If not, there’s a new website that will help you make a decision.
MyVaCandidate, which also launched as an app last week, asks constituents 16 questions about key policies. Based on their responses, users are then shown which of the three candidates – Republican Ed Gillespie, Libertarian Cliff Hydra and Democrat Ralph Northam – their ideologies align with most overall.
Questions include whether voters support offshore drilling, legalizing marijuana, relocating Confederate memorials and increasing the state’s minimum wage.
Users can also see a comparison of their answers for specific issues including the environment, social issues and the economy for each candidate.
Need a reminder for when the election is taking place? Users can have text and emails notifications sent to them via MyVaCandidate before the polls open on Nov. 7.
