About the PSA

This PSA promotes free, nonpartisan ballot education for New York voters. It directs voters to VoteMate, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit civic technology platform, where they can access plain-language explanations of every candidate and measure on their specific ballot at no cost. This PSA is designed to reach New Yorkers who have historically faced barriers to full ballot participation — including youth and first-time voters, older adults, immigrants and non-native English speakers, voters with disabilities, justice-impacted voters, and LGBTQ+ voters. The creative centers on a shared experience across these communities: feeling like the ballot wasn't made for you. VoteMate addresses that directly by providing free, nonpartisan, plain-language breakdowns of every race and measure — no prior knowledge required, no cost, no agenda.

About the Organization

VoteMate's mission is to ensure every voter is informed, supported, and confident in shaping their future. A future where each voice is heard, each choice is informed, and leadership represents the people it serves. VoteMate does not endorse candidates, collect voter data for commercial use, or accept political funding. The PSA's sole call to action is to help voters feel informed and confident before they vote.
