Election Compass

The Election Compass is a question-and-answer tool that shows which party participating in an election is closest to your own political position. You can answer 38 political statements with "agree," "disagree," "neutral," or "skip this statement." All parties participating in the election are invited to participate in the Election Compass. This way, you can compare your own answers with those of the parties. The Election Compass (Wahl-O-Mat) is not an election recommendation, but rather an informational tool about elections and politics.
