Ballot Project

What we do

We want to make the American electoral process more transparent and more fair. We want to increase voter participation and voter education. We want people to know and to care.

Projects

Voter Registration Integrity

We monitor state and county voter registration lists looking for unusual or significant changes which could indicate voter purges or surges in registration.

Sample Ballot

We've designed an interactive sample ballot that shows only the races a voter will participate in and allows for voters to share opinions and comments

Voter Participation

We're studying why so many voters register but never bother voting. We are trying to figure out how to inspire voters to vote and to vote with knowledge

Gerrymandering / Fair Districting

We've developed a metric to show just how fair and non-partisan a districting scheme is and we've applied this to districts
