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. Tapping Vote asks you to sign in, or sends you to 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 — an Active tag means voting is open. Tap the card to open it. The Elections tab lists every election, past and upcoming.The Vote button on that card goes to the same place — it does not cast anything.
2

Choose a party

Under Choose a party the election lists the parties on the ballot. Search by party name, leader or description, or scroll the list. Parties an automated review flagged as spam are left out of that list. The filter button beside the search box opens Filter: Show spam includes them, 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. Both are off until you turn them on. Tap a party’s name to read what it stands for and who leads it — you can vote from there too.

Vote

Tap Vote beside the party you want, then Review vote. A confirmation screen headed Confirm your vote shows which party you picked; Cast vote is what casts your ballot. Nothing is recorded until you tap it.

​
Outcome

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

​
Troubleshooting

Signed out, Vote opens the sign-in dialog — Use biometrics or Continue with Google. Once you are signed in, tap Vote again if the app does not carry on by itself.Not verified, Vote takes you to the face check inside the app: a consent screen, 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 Close, and the vote you started is cast right then, with the same confirmation. Get verified covers the other outcomes a scan can have.Your vote is only held for you if you tapped Vote beside a party. Verifying from your Account 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’s page offers a Get ready card. Its Test button runs the face check, not a practice ballot, so you are ready the moment voting opens.
One account gets one vote per election. Tapping Vote again — on the same party or a different one — answers You already voted in this election 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. Tapping Vote again is safe: if the first one landed you are simply told you already voted, and if it did not, this one counts.
