Issue-first voter guide
Start with the issues you care about
Compare candidates by their verified votes and stated positions on the topics that matter to you, in context, without a ranking or an endorsement.
Your preferences
Weigh the issues that matter to you
01
Choose domestic issues
Select the domestic topics you want to weigh, such as health care, education, and public safety, and set how much each one matters to you.
02
Weigh economic priorities
Rank taxation, spending, labor, and trade questions by importance, so the comparison reflects your own economic priorities rather than a party line.
03
Set foreign affairs positions
Note your stance on defense, diplomacy, and international agreements, and adjust each weighting as your views change.
Before you vote
Check your ballot details
Confirm the basics for your state and district before election day.
Verify ballot access
Confirm which candidates and measures appear on your ballot using your state's official election office records.
Track early voting deadlines
Check early voting windows, registration cutoffs, and the dates that apply where you live.
Plan absentee procedures
Review how to request, complete, and return an absentee ballot, and the deadlines that govern each step.
Save your personalized ballot reference
Save or print your nonpartisan summary of issue weightings and ballot details, and return to it as you prepare to vote.
