Ballot Information

Show voters what’s at stake in their elections.

Impact

Every election gives voters an opportunity to shape their future. That’s why Democracy Works is showing voters what’s at stake, with details about the contests, candidates, and measures on their ballot.

While most voters know of the candidates who are running for president, they may not be as aware of important ballot measures or down-ballot races. Voters can examine the lesser-known – but equally important – issues that directly affect their local communities.

In addition to candidates, ballot measures cover a range of critical issues such as healthcare, taxes, environmental policies, and many others. By providing access to ballot information, we help our partners highlight the stakes of these measures to their audiences.

This ensures that voters can understand the profound and often immediate impact these decisions can have on their daily lives and communities, and are motivated to make their voices heard at the polls. TurboVote empowers organizations to educate and activate voters, giving them the tools they need to inform their communities effectively and drive meaningful participation.

Easy To Use

Voters can access personalized ballot information quickly and easily in TurboVote— their ballot summary will appear at the top of their Election Guide. The ballot summary is generated based on the address associated with the user’s TurboVote account, the address entered by a new user, or the selected state if the user has not entered an address.

You can also give your audience instant access to look up what’s on their ballot by linking to TurboVote directly in your text campaigns and newsletters, or embedded on your website.

The ballot summary displays upcoming races and candidates on the ballot, plus an overview of ballot measures and list the topics those measures cover, such as education, elections, healthcare, and taxes.

Clicking into a ballot measure displays the measure’s name and a brief description, along with a short summary of what a “Yes” and “No” vote means, allowing voters the opportunity to get informed.

To learn more about candidates, users can click an individual’s name to view links to their campaign’s website and social media accounts, their Ballotpedia page, and contact information.
