About ManifestoWatch

ManifestoWatch is an independent, non-partisan platform that records promises published in election manifestos and tracks their progress over time.

It brings promises, status assessments, and supporting public sources together so readers can examine what was promised and what evidence is available.

During elections, we hear hundreds of promises. A few months later, finding the original wording and working out what happened can be surprisingly difficult. ManifestoWatch brings those promises and their evidence together so you can follow them after voting ends.

The same evidence standards are intended to apply regardless of party, candidate, government, or election.

Promise entries begin with official manifesto material wherever available. Statuses are then assessed using public evidence such as government documents, legislative records, institutional reports, and other credible sources.
