Your community, your space
When you join gov.vote, you get your own space:
councillorsmith.toronto.ca.gov.vote for a Toronto councillor rep.jones.nyc.us.gov.vote for a NYC council member housing-coalition.vancouver.ca.gov.vote for a Vancouver organization
This isn’t just branding. It’s your professional presence—where constituents know they can find you.
Stay connected year-round
Most civic tools are built for campaigns. Win the election, then… what?
gov.vote is built for what comes after: ongoing communication with the people you represent.
Share updates
Let constituents know what you’re working on. Committee meetings, votes, local issues—keep your community informed without relying on media coverage.
Hear from constituents
Surveys, feedback forms, and consultation tools. Understand what your community actually thinks, not just what shows up at council meetings.
Bring people together
Town halls, office hours, community events. Professional event management that gets people showing up.
The core tools
Communication
Send emails that reach people directly. Newsletters, updates, action alerts. Segment by neighbourhood, interest, or engagement level. No algorithms deciding who sees your message.
Constituent management
Keep track of everyone who engages with you. Know their interests, their history with your office, what they care about. When someone reaches out, you have context.
Surveys & consultation
Get input on upcoming decisions. Run proper consultations. Understand constituent priorities with data, not assumptions.
Events
Town halls, office hours, volunteer opportunities. RSVPs, reminders, check-ins. Tools that fill rooms, not just collect clicks.
Websites
Professional web presence at your own custom domain. Bio, contact info, updates, ways to engage. No design skills required.
Analytics
Understand what’s working. Email engagement, event attendance, survey responses, constituent growth. Data to inform your approach.
How it works in practice
For elected officials
You’re already in office. Stay connected to constituents between elections. Share what you’re working on, hear what people care about, show up as more than a name on a ballot.
For candidates
Running for office? Build your supporter base, communicate your platform, organize volunteers, raise funds (with compliance built in). Then keep the relationships after you win.
For community organizations
Neighbourhood associations, advocacy groups, tenant unions. Tools for year-round engagement, not just election season. Build lasting community power.
