Los Angeles, CA — IncludUs Fund today announced an exclusive partnership between its nationally recognized civic engagement initiative, Grita Canta Vota, and VoteMate, Inc., a leader in AI-powered civic technology. This collaboration will establish Grita Canta Vota as the first Latino civic organization to integrate AI-driven voter support technology directly into its platform, marking a pivotal step in expanding nonpartisan civic participation for Spanish-speaking and Latino communities.
The partnership will bring VoteMate’s proprietary AI assistant to the Grita Canta Vota website, providing voters with immediate, accurate, and nonpartisan ballot guidance. By reducing technological and linguistic barriers to voting, the initiative ensures that community members will have the resources they need to research their ballots and approach the voting booth with confidence.
“This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to ensure that every voice in our community is heard,” said Bacilia Angel, Founder & Executive Director of IncludUs Fund. “By integrating VoteMate’s AI-powered civic technology into the Grita Canta Vota platform, we are breaking down traditional barriers and providing Spanish-speaking and Latino voters with the trusted, nonpartisan guidance they need to participate fully in our democracy. We are committed to building the tools that make civic participation accessible and intuitive for everyone.”
“We built VoteMate so that every voter could feel informed and confident, and for us that has always included the Spanish-speaking and Latino voters this partnership is meant to serve.” said Alex Iovine, Founder and CEO of VoteMate. “Grita Canta Vota brings something we cannot build on our own, which is deep and earned trust in this community, and we are grateful to meet voters where they already are. Together we will make sure VoteMate’s ballot guidance is accurate and nonpartisan in Spanish, so that language is never the reason someone approaches their ballot with less confidence than they deserve.”
This strategic collaboration emphasizes a shared commitment to voter equity and trust. As part of the partnership, the organizations will also launch a structured Spanish-language testing program to ensure VoteMate maintains high conversational accuracy and cultural relevance for diverse users.
