About BallotReady
BallotReady is bringing confidence back to American voters by empowering them with verified information about the candidates and measures on their ballots, ahead of election day.
The BallotReady platform is a free, nonpartisan technology that allows voters to view the entire ballot they’ll see on voting day, whether they’re going to the voting booth in person or mailing their ballot in absentee.
To facilitate this process, BallotReady gathers factual information about candidates, including endorsements and stances on issues, down to the local level. Our free, nonpartisan voter guide is available at voters.ballotready.org.

Where you go, before you vote
Everything on your ballot, in one place | From county commissioners to ballot measures to judges, BallotReady prepares you with information for everything you'll see on your ballot.
Vote with confidence | Make informed choices by comparing candidates based on their stances on issues, resumé, and endorsements.
From Senate to School Board | State representatives, mayors and police commissioners shape the policies in your own community.
100% nonpartisan | Every piece of information is verified by researchers and linked back to its source.
This is not an official ballot and does not replace voting | This is a voting guide to help you vote informed. The online tool may vary slightly from the final ballot. Filling out your ballot through BallotReady does not cast your vote.
