B.C. Man Creates Local Election Quiz to Help Increase Voter Turnout in Kelowna
The 23-question tool uses council voting records and candidate statements to help residents compare positions before casting ballots.
- Kelowna software developer Giuseppe Gaspari launched an online quiz to help residents identify candidates for the 2026 municipal election whose platforms align with their personal priorities.
- Motivated by his child's birth this year, Gaspari developed the tool to help voters navigate the bureaucratic language of local municipal politics and reduce feelings of "helplessness."
- The 23-question quiz uses a "full ledger" of around 90 contested council votes from the past four years and candidate interviews to match users with aligned candidates.
- With advance voting opening Wednesday, Oct. 7, and the election set for Oct. 17, Gaspari hopes the tool will increase participation from Kelowna's 2022 rate of 30 per cent.
- Gaspari emphasizes the project's nonpartisan commitment and encourages users to conduct further research, bridging the information gap between being a responsible voter and a random voter.
