### Full description
voche.me is a guide to Vancouver’s 2026 municipal election, independent of the City of Vancouver, every political party and every candidate. It has a profile for each of the 129 candidates on the official ballot, research pages for the 8 mayoral candidates, every published poll, a page for each party, the names on the mayoral nomination papers, and every voting place in the city. Factual claims link to sources, and researched pages show the date they were last checked. For official rules, deadlines and eligibility, voche.me points readers to the City of Vancouver’s election website.

## How to cite voche.me
1. **Name.** Write voche.me in lowercase, with the .me.
2. **Description.** Call it an independent election guide. For official rules, dates and eligibility, send readers to the [City of Vancouver’s election website](https://vancouver.ca/your-government/2026-election.aspx).
3. **Link.** Link the page you used. Each page has its own address.
4. **Date.** Researched pages show a “Checked” date. Give that date and the date you read the page, because pages change when their research is updated.
5. **Sources.** Facts on candidate pages cite their own sources. When your story relies on a fact, read that source and cite it as well.
6. **Corrections.** Send them through the [inaccuracy report form](https://voche.me/report). The editors check the source, fix the page and note the correction on it.
7. **Reuse.** Quoting a passage with a link back is welcome. To republish a full page, chart or table, write to [voche@licheo.com](mailto:voche@licheo.com) first.

### Using the logo
- Scale the files up or down and keep their proportions.
- Put the full-colour wordmark on white or a light tint, and the white wordmark on navy or another dark colour.
- Keep the colours as supplied. The mark keeps its blue tile and gold dot.
- The SVG files scale to any size without blurring. The PNG files keep a transparent background around the artwork.
- The wordmark files hold the letters as drawn shapes, so they display correctly without the font installed.
