Help & FAQ
Answers for visitors and members
Getting started
3How do I create an account?
Click on the "Sign Up" button on the login page. You'll need to provide a valid email address, create a password, choose your account type (Voter, Runner, or Politician), and submit required verification documents (valid U.S. government-issued ID and a selfie photo). All information and supporting documents must be submitted during account creation. You will receive an email notification when your account is approved and you can log in.
What are the different account types?
There are three account types: Voter (regular users who can vote, comment, and engage), Runner (candidates running for office), and Politician (elected officials). Runners and Politicians have additional features like video-only posting and endorsement tracking. All account types require the same verification process during account creation.
How do I verify my account?
Account verification is required for ALL users to ensure only valid U.S. citizens can create accounts. During account creation, you must submit a valid U.S. government-issued ID document and a selfie photo. All information and supporting documents must be submitted upon account creation. An admin will review, validate, and approve your account based on document authenticity. You cannot log in until your account has been approved. You will receive an email notification at the address you provided when your account is approved.
Social features
5What does "BACK" mean?
BACK is support for a runner or politician you can't vote for — for example, a Californian supporting a Texas candidate. If you can vote for them, use ENDORSE instead. Backers are counted separately from endorsements.
What is "TRACK"?
TRACK lets anyone follow a runner or politician's videos and statements without supporting or opposing them — useful for keeping an eye on opponents. It is private: they aren't notified and it never appears on their profile.
What is "ENDORSE"?
ENDORSE means "I can vote for this person and I support them." Only WE-TP members whose address is in the office's area (state, district, county or city) can endorse. It is a personal opinion, not a campaign contribution.
What is "OPPOSE"?
OPPOSE means "I can vote for this person and I oppose them." Like ENDORSE, it is only for members who can vote for that office. Opposition counts are public; who opposes is never shown. You can choose one of Endorse, Back or Oppose per person, and Track works alongside any of them.
What is Stock Tracking?
Stock Tracking shows recent stock transactions by U.S. politicians. This feature helps promote transparency by making public disclosure data easily accessible. Data is sourced from public records and updated regularly.
Posting
3How do I create a post?
Click the "Create Post" button on the Debate page. You can add text, images, or videos. Voters can post any type of content, while Runners and Politicians must post videos only (they can add a title/description and select categories).
Why can't Runners/Politicians post text-only posts?
Runners and Politicians are required to post videos to ensure authentic, direct communication with voters. They can add a title/description and select categories for their videos. They can still comment on posts with text.
How do I filter video posts by category?
On the Debate page, use the category filter icon. Select one or more categories (like "Gun Rights", "Healthcare", etc.) to see only video posts tagged with those categories.
Voting & elections
3How do I vote in polls?
Navigate to the Polls page, browse available polls, and click on a poll to view options. Select your choice and submit. You can only vote once per poll.
How do I run for office?
First, verify your account as a Runner. Then, visit the "Run for Office" page, enter your address, select the office you're running for, and follow the tailored guide with requirements and steps specific to your jurisdiction.
What is the Patriot Score?
The Patriot Score is calculated based on your engagement, endorsements (for Runners/Politicians), and community participation. It reflects your standing in the community.
Profile & settings
4How do I edit my profile?
On your profile page, click the "Edit Profile" button (green circle icon at the bottom right of your cover photo). You can update your bio, location, political views, and other information.
How do I change my cover photo or avatar?
On your profile page, click the camera icon (green circle) at the bottom right of your cover photo to change it. To change your avatar, click on your avatar image and select a new one.
What are privacy settings?
Privacy settings control which information is visible on your public profile. All profiles are public by default for transparency, but you can control visibility of specific fields like phone number, location, etc.
How do I change my account type (Voter, Runner, or Politician)?
You can request an account type change in your Settings page under the Account tab. Select the account type you want to change to, optionally provide a reason, and submit your request. An admin will review your request and notify you of the decision. You can only have one pending request at a time.
Statistics & analytics
2How do I view post statistics?
Click the bar graph icon on any post to see detailed statistics including views, comments, shares, and engagement rate. For candidate posts, you'll also see eligible voter statistics.
What do eligible voter statistics mean?
For Runner/Politician posts, eligible voter statistics show how many eligible voters (people who can vote for that candidate) have viewed or endorsed the post. This helps candidates understand their reach within their district.
Security & privacy
3How does WE-TP protect my privacy and data?
WE-TP protects data using HTTPS in transit, secure password hashing, optional 2FA, admin-only access to verification documents, and session revocation on logout and account deletion. Verification ID and selfie files are stored only during pending review and deleted immediately when an administrator approves or rejects your application (or when a pending application expires after 30 days). You can access, export, correct, or delete your account data from Settings.
What happens to my verification documents?
Your ID and selfie are stored only while your application is pending manual admin review. Authorized administrators can view them during review. When your application is approved or rejected, verification files are deleted immediately and references are removed from your account. If your application stays pending for 30 days, verification files and the pending account are automatically removed. Verification images are never included in data exports.
Why does WE-TP require verification for all users?
We require verification for ALL users (Voters, Runners, and Politicians) to ensure only valid U.S. citizens can create accounts. This security measure helps maintain platform integrity, prevents fraud, and ensures authentic engagement. All users must submit a valid U.S. government-issued ID and selfie during account creation.
Technical
5What browsers are supported?
WE-TP works best on modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Make sure your browser is up to date for the best experience.
How do I report a technical issue?
Use the bug reporting section on this Help page to report technical issues. Provide as much detail as possible including steps to reproduce, your browser/device, and any error messages.
Why is my video not uploading?
Videos must be under 50MB and in supported formats (MP4, WebM, QuickTime). Check your internet connection and try again. If the problem persists, report it through the bug reporting section.
Why is the Debate page not loading or crashing?
If you experience issues with the Debate page, try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, clear your browser cache and cookies, or try a different browser. Report any persistent issues using Report a problem on this Help page.
Why can't I upload my profile picture or cover photo?
Profile pictures and cover photos must be image files (JPG, PNG, GIF) under 10MB. Make sure you have a stable internet connection. If uploads fail, try using a smaller image file or a different browser. All uploaded images are automatically processed to remove metadata for security.
