Dear Reader,
Today, Ballotpedia turns 18 years old — which means we’re officially old enough to vote! 🎉
Since 2007, we’ve been helping voters like you make sense of elections, policies, and the people who shape them. In that time, we’ve:
-
Published more than 600,000 articles,
-
Received more than 1.4 billion pageviews, and
-
Provided tens of millions of voters with reliable, unbiased information about who and what is on their ballot.
And in 2025, we’re providing comprehensive election coverage for every race on the ballot in 26 states.That's in addition to our coverage of elections in the nation's 100 largest cities, 200 largest school districts, and every state capital!
Why does that matter? Because 99% of elected officials in the U.S. serve at the local level, yet voters often lack trusted sources to learn about those candidates. Ballotpedia fills that gap by providing not just names, but robust, neutral information: endorsements, campaign themes, issue stances, and our Candidate Connection survey.
Here’s our bold promise:
To give every voter access to comprehensive, trustworthy information about every candidate on their ballot — no matter where they live.

Ballotpedia is powered by readers like you. Your support today will help us celebrate this milestone not just with birthday candles — but with deeper coverage, better tools, and more informed voters.
Thank you for being part of our community — and here’s to the next 18 years!
With appreciation,
Hannah Nelson
