Sway is a group-voting service that helps anyone organize to become as powerful as unions and lobbyists. You can join groups on different topics, or start your own. At election time, you'll get a voter guide from the groups you're in. The larger a group, the more influence it will have with elected officials who want their votes.

Anyone with passion for a cause can use Sway. To lead a voting group, you must be at least 13 years old. To increase your impact, verify that you're a registered voter (U.S.-only for now). If you haven't already, register to vote here.

Yes! Many do. However, 501(c)(3) organizations should consult legal counsel before using Sway. Email us at hello@sway.co for more information.

We allow any topic that's legal in the U.S. We welcome a wide range of topics, from local to global. We don't filter or boost anything.

You can join any group anonymously to protect your privacy. This policy shields the identity of silent participants.

You can use Sway anywhere in the world. We only verify voter identity in the US at this time. (We plan to add support in other countries over time.)

Nonprofit leaders, including leaders of 501(c)(3) organizations, may be subject to special rules that could be implicated by engaging in political activity using Sway. Before using Sway, nonprofit leaders are encouraged to seek appropriate legal advice from a licensed attorney who can evaluate the nonprofit leader's particular facts and circumstances.

Yes, candidates can use Sway — and recommend that their supporters vote for them on their ballot.

No, using Sway does not constitute lobbying. It's a network that allows people to organize around shared views. Because Sway can be used to show how many people — and importantly, voters — care about a topic, support aggregated on Sway is an important tool for political advocacy.

No, your vote is always your choice. You will not need to reveal to anyone how you vote.

Sway is a Public Benefit Corporation. Our purpose is to ensure that governance represents the collective will of the governed, everywhere. Sway is funded by Neo and cofounder, Ali Partovi.

Sway does not currently make money — and has no plans to generate revenue anytime soon. Sway's sole priority will be to drive adoption and reach a critical mass of voters.

Sway is new, and we have lots of questions to answer. Shoot us an email at hello@sway.co to tell us what you're curious to learn. We'll add more frequently asked questions here, too.
