Spinder

Political Tinder

Victorian state election · Saturday 28 November 2026

Policies first. Pollies second.

Get past the campaign noise. Swipe through statements about Victorian issues, find your district, and see how the candidates compare with you.

No account. No party names on the cards. Your call at the ballot box.

A little less spin

Meet the policies before you meet the pollies.

Spinder is an independent compatibility quiz for the Victorian state election. You tell it what you think about state issues. It compares your answers with published positions and shows the sources behind the match.

A match is a starting point for a closer look. It isn't an endorsement or a voting instruction. Missing information is never treated as disagreement.

  • Even-handed

    We wrote the statements, and they're blind: no names, logos or team colours until the end.

  • Sourced

    Every position we score links to its source. Party policy is labelled as party policy.

  • Private

    Scored on this device. No accounts, and our counts are anonymous.

How it works

  1. Swipe blind.

    Agree, disagree or skip statements about state issues. No party names, logos or team colours on the cards. Buttons work too.

  2. Find your ballot.

    Add your postcode and confirm your district. The lookup happens on this device.

  3. Check the receipts.

    See the positions behind your matches, how much is on the record, and where the sources come from.

Your answers. Your device.

Political opinions don't need a login.

Your answers are scored in your browser. You can choose to save your progress on this device. There are no accounts.

At your results, Spinder can count an anonymous summary of where you landed and separate totals for card answers. Those totals aren't joined together. Turn on “Don't count me” before sending anything.

Before you swipe

Will this tell me how to vote?

No. It compares your answers with the positions available in our sources. Our choice of statements and gaps in the record affect the results. Read the evidence, explore your candidates, and make your own decision.

What if a candidate hasn't published a position?

We leave it unscored. A blank in the record isn't a disagreement, and every match shows how much information it is based on.

Do I have to swipe?

No. Use the answer buttons, or answer the statements as a list. You can skip a statement and review your answers.

Can I look around first?

Of course. Explore the parties, find your district on the map, or get the election basics.

Less guessing. More receipts.

Start with what matters to you.
