Currently, voters in the United States don’t have much information about what elections are on the ballot until they actually go to the polling station.
In today's Information Age, it is surprising just how hard it is to find basic information about what’s on your ballot and who’s on your ballot.
It is a basic right for voters to know who they can vote for and why.
You have a right to know what elections there will be on the ballot. Many elections go completely unnoticed by voters who weren't told about them, resulting in devastatingly low voter turnout and an increasing difference between what the people want and what the government does.
Even for major elections like President, House Representative, or Senator, there are usually more than just two candidates, and the lack of explanation for these candidates means that most voters don't even know they are running for office, regardless of what policies they advocate for.
You shouldn't just know who the candidates are; you should know what they stand for. Requiring candidates to submit short biographies of who they are, what they have done, and where they stand on the issues that matter most to your community allows you to make a proper, informed decision on who you should vote for. Providing background information, qualifications, and platforms allows voters to fully understand the candidates.
Mailing a brochure to the addresses of all registered voters not only reminds them to vote, but incentivizes them by providing the information they need to go to the polls.
Posting biography information on the county election commission website and sharing that link to registered voters achieves the same goal in a different way.
Presenting candidate information at the polling station can refresh voters' understanding of the issues before they vote.
You should not have to rely on biased sources to tell you who you can vote for — you deserve to learn about the election straight from the source. "What Is On My Ballot" is making it happen.
