Editorial policy

Last updated September 22, 2026 · draft pending review

Nonpartisan by design

We never endorse, rate, rank, or characterize a candidate, party, or ballot measure, in the product, in reminders, or anywhere else. Nothing we offer is conditioned on whether you vote or register.

What we show about candidates

The name as filed, the party as filed, incumbency, official contact links, the offices a person has held, and official results. Roll-call votes come from the U.S. House Clerk and Senate. We do not summarise positions or record statements.

What we show about measures

The official title, the official summary where the election office publishes one, and a link to the full text. No arguments for or against.

Where facts come from

Election offices, state election authorities, and official notices. Every date and deadline links to the exact text it came from, and we say when sources disagree. Some values are state-law defaults until an office publishes its own; those are labelled.

Prediction markets

Some pages show prices from third-party prediction markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) for questions that name a candidate. They are labelled as market prices, with a time stamp. They are not forecasts, endorsements, or our view, and questions about parties rather than people are never attached to a person.

Automation and review

Software reads official pages and records each fact with the sentence it came from; a fact without a matching sentence is discarded. Disagreements between sources go to a human reviewer.

Corrections

If something is wrong or missing, report it from any election or jurisdiction page. Corrections from an administering office are applied first.
