Democracy’s data, in one place.
Voting by mail is more important than ever - and we made it easy.
This election, millions of voters will vote by mail for the first time. Ensure that they receive and return their ballots with a mobile first vote by mail tool backed by county-level election research.
Help voters request a ballot via state portal, email, or mail voters a paper copy of their completed application, along with a stamped and addressed envelope to send it on.
Not your average voter guide
We talked with hundreds of voters to understand how they make decisions and what motivates them to turn out.
Then we assembled an unparalleled research team, using a combination of technology and elbow grease to build the most comprehensive database of every candidate, election, position, and polling place in the country.
With data and beautiful, responsive design, we’ve built a digital platform voters love.
Pledge, plan, vote
Grounded in behavioral science and voter research, Turnout Engine is a polling place lookup tool that guides voters all the way to the ballot box.
Voters pledge to vote and as the election approaches create personalized plans for their chosen date, place, and time.
Customize the timing and content of automated messages to remind voters of their pledge and plan.
Data down to the local level
There are over half a million elected officials nationwide, not to mention hundreds of elections, thousands of polling places. At BallotReady, we believe every race matters - from Senate to school board. That’s why we’ve built the most comprehensive database for every level of government.
Political data is spread out across thousands of boards of election, stored in filing cabinets and PDFs. Our team of researchers makes phone calls, files FOIA requests, and sends faxes when necessary, all to ensure we have the most accurate information for every office holder and every candidate.
