VOTE ADVICE APPLICATIONS (VAA)
A VAA provides to the voters electoral orientation via matching political position of voters and parties and/or candidates. It helps voters to find the candidates with the highest political affinity. The VAA invites the user to enter in the Political Directory, where he finds well-structured information that is relevant for a voter.
Popularity of VAAs www.stemwijzer.nl : 4,85 million visits in one month (2012) www.smartvote.ch : 1,1 million consultations; 84% of candidates
participating (2011)
The VAA is not: Rating of the candidates Voting recommendation.
Improvements compared to first generation VAAs: Selection of candidates, and not (only) the parties The VAA is coupled with a political directory Each question is accompanied by a summary containing the
"pros" and "cons"

POLITICAL DIRECTORY
The Vote Advice Application (VAA) is linked to a Political Directory.
This other transparency tool is autonomous: can be consulted without VAA.
It will be available in May 2015 on : http://directory.wecitizens.be
It contains answers from political players on a set of questions: we move towards an atlas of opinions.
