Transparency & Editorial Standards

Know My Ballot is designed to inform, not persuade.

Transparency Statement

Candidate pages are editorially curated from publicly available information. They are not campaign pages and are not written, reviewed, or approved by candidates unless we clearly say so.

We include citations so voters can review information directly. Know My Ballot does not endorse candidates.

Campaign information changes. Review linked sources and official pages for updates.

How Profiles Are Built

Information comes from campaign websites, candidate statements, interviews, debates, government documents, public records, voting records, and news reporting.

We prioritize official records and direct candidate materials, then other reporting. If sources conflict, we note the disagreement.

Editorial Principles

Introduce, not persuade. We explain offices and candidate background without telling voters what to think.

Facts before conclusions. We describe experience, actions, positions, and records without endorsement language.

Plain English. We use clear language so all voters can follow.

Consistent standards, flexible structure. We apply the same editorial rules across every page, but not every page will look the same. Some offices are more visible, better documented, or more familiar to voters than others. Some candidates have a deeper public record, while others have less information available. A profile may be shorter or structured differently when reliable information is limited, and high-profile races often receive more rapid updates as new facts become available.

Privacy & Data

Know My Ballot does not collect, store, or share personal information. No tracking, no data storage on our servers, no account required. Your ballot choices and selections save only to your device.

We are not affiliated with any government agency, campaign, political party, or data broker.
