Top Level Domains

.vote and .voto are dedicated to providing a political safe space on the internet where voters can find useful and accurate information from candidates and other legitimate political candidates. Registrants of the domains must abide by the .vote/.voto registration policies, in order to maintain the integrity of the domain. For more information, see .VOTE Registration Policy and .VOTO Registration Policy.
