2. Data Sourcing Methodology
The candidate profiles, voting requirements, district boundaries, and ballot information displayed on this platform are compiled programmatically and verified manually using strictly public, official records. Our data sources include:
- Official publications from state election divisions and secretaries of state.
- Municipal and county clerk election portals.
- Verified, public candidate campaign websites and public statements.
3. Accuracy and Notice
While our team executes data validation checklists and quality assurance measures to ensure all information is accurate and current, election parameters, polling locations, and candidate rosters can change rapidly. The information on this website is provided "as is" for general informational and educational purposes only. Ballot Brief does not guarantee absolute accuracy or completeness. Voters are strongly encouraged to cross-reference critical deadlines, registration status, and polling locations with their official local registrar or supervisor of elections prior to voting day.
