One standard for every party.

Manifestos are long and campaign promises are loud. We read them so you can see, in one place, which promises line up with the Word.

An open Bible at the book of Isaiah.

Every verdict has a verse.

No verdict rests on opinion. Each policy names the passage it is measured against, and each party page links to the source of its position, so you can test it yourself.

  • Acknowledge God Psalm 33:12
  • Against Abortion Psalm 139:13 Proverbs 24:11
  • Against Discrimination Galatians 3:28 Leviticus 24:22
  • Against Same-Sex Marriage Leviticus 20:13

Every party on one page.

From the ANC to the Freedom Front Plus, all 10 parties are weighed on the same questions, in the same order, with the same care. Nobody gets a softer reading.

Written into our founding law.

Questions, answered plainly.

The reasoning behind every verdict is set out in the Biblical Standard. How we keep the discussion honest is in the Guidelines.

Who decides whether a policy complies?

Each verdict is drawn from the party's own manifesto and public statements, then measured against the passage printed beside it. Sources are linked on every party page, so you can check the reasoning yourself.

Does Vote4Jesus campaign for a party?

No. One standard is applied to all ten parties in the same way. Where a party complies, it says so; where it does not, it says that too. The choice on the ballot stays yours.

Why these seven policies?

They are the questions where Scripture speaks plainly to government: acknowledging God, the protection of life, equal justice, marriage, punishment of murder, honest work and the rights of parents. The full Biblical Standard explains each one.

What does the golden tick do?

Registered members press it to validate a row they believe is faithful and accurate. The count is public, so you can see how many believers have checked each verdict.

Do I need an account to read the comparison?

No. Everything is open to read. Register only if you want to validate verdicts or take part in the Live Feed.

When and where do I vote?

The municipal elections are on 4 November 2026. Check your registration and voting station with the Electoral Commission at elections.org.za.

Your vote is a stewardship.

Read the record, weigh it against the Word, then go and vote. Exodus 18:21 asks for leaders who fear God, are trustworthy and hate dishonest gain.
