Denmark is preparing for the parliamentary elections on March 24, and Altinget provides a candidate test that helps voters identify which politicians align with their views.
Denmark will hold parliamentary elections on March 24, and Altinget has introduced a candidate test aimed at helping voters understand the candidates better. This test allows users to engage with 29 statements regarding Danish politics, facilitating the identification of which candidates a voter aligns with or disagrees with. Users can also browse profiles of all candidates, gaining insight into their key issues and overall stance.
The candidate test serves not only as an informative tool for the electorate but also as a platform for candidates to present themselves directly to voters. Each candidate involved has responded to the same set of statements, providing a unique opportunity for comparisons between candidate's positions and a voter's personal beliefs. This initiative is part of Altinget's effort to enhance informed voting as the election date approaches.
Importantly, the candidate test has been developed using an algorithm controlled by Altinget, ensuring transparency in how responses are matched between candidates and voters. While it offers insights into candidates' beliefs and policy priorities, it does not function as a voting mechanism, rather serving as an educational resource for engaged citizens in the upcoming election context.
