Developer Documentation

Access to BallotReady’s comprehesive database of local government and elections is available either through our GraphQL API or through structured data exports, delivered either one-time or with ongoing support.

Inform

Our Ballot data makes it easy to match voters to every candidate on their personal ballot. We also provide data via API or standard export on candidate profiles, biographies, issue stances, endorsements, as well as thousands of ballot measures.

Turn out

Our Turnout data ensures voters know when, where, and how to vote with information on every upcoming election, including early voting and Election Day polling place times and locations. This is built off our significant library of district and subdistrict polygons which places candidates and voters in the correct area for any given election.

Recruit

Recruit candidates for every position with our Recruitment data. BallotReady collects information on every eligible open race, along with position descriptions, eligibility requirements, filing instructions, and more.

Mobilize

Engagement doesn’t end on Election Day. BallotReady’s Officeholder data helps users identify and contact elected and appointed officials down to the local level, so that the momentum of your work continues year-round. This includes records of over 200,000 officeholders.

How it works

Quality Assurance Technology

Data transformation and validation interfaces ensure data integrity at every stage of the process. Automated checks flag discrepancies for further analysis, and our database is refreshed every day.
Team of researchers

Political data is spread across thousands of boards of election in filing cabinets and PDFs. Our team of dozens of researchers makes phone calls, files FOIA requests, and sends faxes, all to ensure we have the most accurate information for every ballot.
Optimized for Scale

Built off of the AWS API Gateway, our API is designed to handle infinite scale, battle tested with over 1,100 peak API requests per second.
