The statements - answer the statements by clicking on agree, disagree, open-minded or skip (if you want to ignore the statement entirely).

The issues - select which areas of policy matter the most to you - and which ones matter the least.

The parties - select which parties you would be prepared to vote for (at least three).

Results - the results screen will reveal which party you agree with most, and other parties will follow in descending order. You can look at the responses from each party in more detail by clicking on their name.

Vote Match is intended as a guide only and is not intended to give you definitive answers on which way you should vote. We encourage you to look into the candidates' policies in more detail and provide you with some links to other websites in the results section to do just that.

To do the quiz, simply click the "start" button in the box on the right.

Good luck and (if you are a member of Labour Party, an affiliated trade union or an affiliated socialist society) don't forget to vote!

Four things to know about Vote Match:

  1. The aim of the tool is to raise awareness about the policy differences between political parties and/or candidates standing in an election and encourage people to vote.
  2. The statements were devised with the help of a panel of Labour Party members with suggestions from members of the public.
  3. The candidates themselves fill out the answers to the statements.
  4. The project is politically neutral

For more information, please see our Frequently Asked Question section.

Since the site went live at 15.00 on Tuesday 31 August, we have agreed to delete a question from the quiz after a request from one of the candidates. Please see FAQ for details.

Vote Match is a simple tool designed to help you decide between the different policies of the candidates for the 2010 Labour Leadership election.

Because the election is being held using the alternative vote, as well as matching you to the candidate who most closely matches your views, Vote Match can also help you decide on your second and third choice of candidate.

You will be asked a series of statements which you need to state whether you agree or disagree with. You will then be asked which issues you consider to be important or unimportant. It should take you just a few minutes to complete.

Note: Andy Burnham has not been included in this quiz because we did not receive his answers within our deadline.
