This document introduces a platform called WiseVote that aims to provide transparent and accessible information about political candidates to enable citizens, especially young voters, to make informed choices. It seeks to source candidates' profiles, financial records, work histories and other data from government agencies to promote informed debate and fair elections. The platform hopes to empower citizens to choose leaders wisely rather than blaming politicians, and indicates it has the potential to scale to local elections by making data available through APIs.
