WHAT'S ON MY 
BALLOT?

OUR FAVORITE BALLOT RESOURCE:

BallotReady is a great tool to learn about ballot measures, candidate information, and more. A project by the NSF, Knight Foundation, and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, BallotReady aggregates content from candidates’ websites, social media, press, endorsers and board of elections for comprehensive, nonpartisan information about the candidates and referendums on your ballot. All content is linked back to its original source so voters can verify any piece of information. BallotReady makes every effort to confirm details with the candidates themselves, giving them the opportunity to share even more information.

​

ANOTHER GREAT RESOURCE: BALLOTPEDIA

Ballotpedia is a nonprofit, nonpartisan political encyclopedia which covers nearly every measure on every ballot in every state. Ballotpedia also explains both sides of policy issues by theme as well how aspects of government (federal, state, and local) work. A particularly useful feature is the ability to view a sample ballot from wherever you live. With an added focus on explaining political topics, Ballotpedia truly lives up to its billing as an encyclopedia not just of the next election, but all of American politics.

STILL NEED MORE INFORMATION? TRY YOUR BALLOT!

It never hurts to go back to the source. Many states and counties mail all registered voters an official voter information guide ahead of an election, regardless of how you intend to vote. If you didn't register in time or didn't receive the guide, the official guide is usually also online--just search for "voter information guide" along with the name of your state or county.
