Here’s how it works

UniVote reveals where voters overwhelmingly agree on issues and policies—agreement that is deliberately ignored by the political establishment.

It then helps voters utilize their consensus as the basis for united action at the ballot box.

Pragmatic, solution-focused voters—Democrats, Republicans, and independents—constitute the majority of the electorate. Most:

Today’s highly partisan politics has drowned out the voices of these voters. “In-your-face” confrontations and shouting matches between extremists and special interests—“red” versus “blue”—dominate the political scene.

Practical, solution-focused voters are marginalized and largely ignored, despite poll after poll showing them to be a clear majority in every state in the union.

Polling also reveals that, on most issues, there are one or more policies supported by at least two-thirds and opposed by fewer than one-sixth of registered voters in America.

Check it out and you will find that large bipartisan majorities support many practical policy proposals on many pressing issues.  To name a few: Social Security & Medicare, immigration, poverty programs, jobs, housing, cost of living, the federal budget, energy & the environment, police reform, election reform, government reform, abortion & reproductive rights, gun safety, and international trade.

Why don’t we hear about these workable solutions to real concerns? Because politicians, parties, and special interests benefit by keeping this hidden, especially during elections. But the fact remains that we Americans agree on a lot of policies that would guide government to solve many of our nagging problems.

This is the unacknowledged common ground that UniVote reveals and empowers.

This website introduces a radically new way for digital technology to empower voters willing to seek solutions—to rally them with remarkable efficiency behind the issues and policies they overwhelmingly support and mobilize them to evaluate candidates in a way that diminishes the influence of special interests and extreme partisans at the ballot box.

This project is the work of ordinary citizens like you. It is led by William Spira, a retired scientist and educator, who started designing the model during the COVID-19 lockdown.

This grew into a manuscript—UniVote Town Halls: Mobilizing Common Ground Voters to Fix America’s Broken Democracy—that provides the blueprint for building a working model to pilot in 2026.

When fully operational, the web-based UniVote platform will allow large groups of Common Ground Voters to quickly and easily reach consensus on issues, policies, and candidates.

Keep in mind that, in this role, UniVote is strictly a non-partisan tool that simply reveals the collective will of the voters using it. Unlike anything seen before in politics, it does not set an agenda for voters.

The upshot is this: By spending just a few hours during an election year using the UniVote app, hundreds of thousands of pragmatic voters in a state can unite as a virtual yet influential voting bloc and help elect candidates who will be faithful to their priorities.

Here’s how it works

Replace outdated, unstructured political organizing with highly efficient, web-based technology.

Here are the key steps in the complete UniVote process:

We are lucky that Wisconsin, our home state, is a key battleground in both national and state elections. Next year’s partisan election, with eight Congressional races plus the race for Governor, is a good opportunity to showcase the UniVote Town Hall.

Beyond being a test of the UniVote system at scale, we hope this pilot might create a stumbling block to some campaigns aiming to polarize the electorate.

Many of Wisconsin’s statewide elections are won by razor-thin margins, driven by campaigns that rely almost exclusively on cherry-picked personal attacks and one-sided, polarizing messaging.

It’s within the realm of possibility that tossing a Common Ground Agenda—even one compiled by significantly less than 100,000 voters—into the political free-for-all might change some outcomes.

Now imagine the impact that a million Common Ground Voters would have in 2028.  Possible? Yes. Polling suggests that at least 2.0-2.5 million voters among the Badger State’s approximately 4 million registered voters genuinely want to elect problem-solvers

Here’s how it works

In future elections, 2028 and beyond, registered voters who sign up as UniVoters will be invited to participate in three rounds of virtual Town Halls during the election cycle:

The general protocol for these rounds follows these guidelines:

Town Halls

Town Halls will become active as soon as enough voters have signed up as members to provide statistically valid study groups and we have fully developed a working prototype of the basic agenda-building software.

We hope to go live with activity by mid-January.  This will include mainly controlled testing of the UniVote decision-making protocol for ranking issues and approving policy proposals.  This may be augmented with focus groups, other surveys, and interviews.
