Choseno

An anonymous, location-verified platform for constituents to rate and discuss their local politicians' performance and stay informed before elections.

Active
1424 Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Choseno launched in 2026 as a nonpartisan, anonymous platform where Canadian voters can rate and discuss the performance of their local, provincial, and federal politicians. It is built for everyday constituents who want to make an informed choice at the ballot box. Using PostGIS boundary data, Choseno automatically matches a user's shared location to their real electoral districts (polling, municipal, provincial, federal) without requiring an address form. Candidates get their own profile pages and can respond to voter questions directly, including via video, without needing party backing. Choseno is launching ahead of the upcoming municipal elections to help residents understand their choices before they vote. It is free to use at choseno.com.
