Clear ballot info, with visible sourcing.
The site combines ZIP-based candidate lookup, full-address civic lookup where available, official election links, and candidate video discovery. It is designed to call out when public data is incomplete instead of hiding uncertainty.
Nonpartisan by design
The site is structured around offices, districts, candidate names, and public source material rather than endorsements.
Built for verification
Lookup results and race pages link out to public election resources such as official election offices, Ballotpedia, VoteSmart, Vote411, and related civic databases.
Video-first context
Candidate videos are presented as source material for voters to compare across candidates and topics.
How the site handles gaps.
Election data is uneven, especially before filing deadlines and when ZIP codes cross district lines. When APIs do not return precise local contests, The Ballot Brief falls back to federal and statewide guidance and points voters to official tools for confirmation.
