Follow these steps to vote for a party in an open test election. Once you are verified it takes a few taps, and you get one vote per election.

​
Prerequisites

  • A World Republic account, signed in
  • A completed face verification — see Get verified
You can start without either. Signed out or not yet verified, the election’s button reads Verify to vote, and it takes you through signing in and the face check before anything is cast.

​
Steps

1

Open the active election

Open worldrepublic.org. It opens on Home, and the card at the top is the current election — a Live tag means voting is open. Tap the card to open the election and see the parties On the ballot. The Elections tab lists every election: Open now, Upcoming and Past.
2

Choose a party

Tap Cast your vote, on the Home card or on the election page. A sheet headed Select one party lists the ballot. Search by party name, leader or description, or scroll the list, and tap the party you want.The filter button beside the search box opens Filter. Hide spam is on until you turn it off: it leaves out parties an automated review flagged as spam and parties it has not reviewed yet. Turned off, they appear tagged Spam or In review, and they can be voted for like any other. Only AI governance parties shows just the parties whose name or description says what they want for AI; it is off until you turn it on.You can also vote from a party’s own page: Vote for this party skips this step.
3

Review your vote

Tap Review vote. The screen headed Confirm your vote shows the election and the party you picked.
4

Consent and cast

A vote shows your political opinion, so it is counted only with your explicit consent. Above Cast vote is a box that reads I consent to World Republic processing my vote, which shows my political opinion, to count it in this election. It is empty in every election — tick it, then tap Cast vote. Nothing is recorded until you do. With the box empty, Cast vote sends nothing and the box shakes.How your vote is handled, under the button, opens the part of the Privacy Policy about votes.

​
Outcome

Success! The app shows You voted. Your ballot counts from that moment, and the election page shows the full result once the election ends.

​
Troubleshooting

Signed out, Verify to vote opens the sign-in sheet — Continue with passkey or Continue with Google — and carries on by itself once you are signed in.Not verified, it takes you to the face check inside the app: two boxes to tick, then a short camera scan. There is nothing to install and no code to scan with another device. When it passes, the screen reads You are verified — tap Continue, and your ballot reopens: at Confirm your vote if you had picked a party, or at the list if you had not. You still tick the consent box and tap Cast vote yourself. Get verified covers the other outcomes a scan can have.The ballot is kept for half an hour, and only if you started from an election or a party. Verifying from the Menu tab carries no ballot — go back to the election and vote.
An Upcoming tag means voting has not started yet; the card shows when it does. You cannot vote early.If you are not verified, an upcoming election offers Get ready to vote. It runs the face check, not a practice ballot, so you are ready the moment voting opens.
One account gets one vote per election. Once you have voted, the election’s button gives way to You voted in this election. If you voted on another device and try again here, the app answers You already voted and changes nothing. There is no way to move or withdraw a vote.
A slow or dropped connection can lose the answer after the vote has already been recorded. The app says it couldn’t confirm whether your vote was recorded. Tapping Cast vote again is safe: if the first one landed you are told so, and if it did not, this one counts.
