How Vote With Info works

Trust is something
we have to show.

Our goal is not to tell anyone how to vote. It is to make the origin, ownership, age, and funding status of every piece of information obvious.

Our standards

Six rules behind every page

Simple rules help voters distinguish government facts from campaign statements and see what the platform has—and has not—verified.

01

Official facts come from official sources

Election dates, deadlines, ballot offices, results, and candidate qualification status come from state and local election authorities. Every live fact shows its source and review date.

02

The same public facts come first

Before campaign content appears, every candidate in a covered race receives the same baseline: official name, office sought, jurisdiction, election cycle, and the exact designation printed on the cited ballot.

03

Every campaign uses the same format

Candidates receive the same fields, issue categories, character limits, and visual treatment. Payment never changes placement, prominence, or comparison order.

04

People review every publication

An administrator verifies campaign authorization and reviews each proposed profile change before it becomes public. Previous versions remain protected from unauthorized edits.

05

History cannot be quietly rewritten

Published profiles become read-only election snapshots. A candidate may update a current campaign while older statements remain visible in the private administrative record.

06

Corrections follow one process

Official-data errors are checked against the responsible source. Candidate-submitted corrections are dated and pass through the same approval workflow as the original submission.

Neutral presentation policy

Same rules.
Every candidate.

Neutrality must be visible in the interface, not only promised in a statement.

Alphabetical ordering

Candidate lists and selectors are ordered by last name. Party never controls placement.

Identical presentation

The same card size, typography, neutral colors, initials treatment, and field order apply to everyone.

Equal profile fields

Campaigns receive the same questions, topic order, character limits, and video length.

No paid advantage

A basic factual listing is free. Payment never changes visibility, order, styling, or verification speed.

Verification is not endorsement

A verified-campaign label confirms identity and content origin only. It does not certify claims or recommend a candidate.

No scoring or leading questions

Vote With Info does not rank candidates. Comparisons show the same factual and campaign-submitted fields side by side.

Three information layers

Know who is speaking.

Official

Government and election data

Dates, deadlines, offices, candidate names, exact ballot designations, certified results, current officeholders, and published meeting schedules.

Campaign

Candidate-submitted information

Biography, priorities, issue answers, a 30–45 second video, and campaign links appear only after campaign-manager authorization and administrator approval.

Vote With Info

Plain-language organization

Office explainers, calendar organization, source labels, and comparisons. We do not score candidates.

Commercial transparency

Payment cannot change the facts or the order.

A free public-record baseline remains available for qualifying candidates. If an authorized campaign later pays for preparation or management of campaign-supplied material, that material will be labeled at the point where it appears.

Payment may cover
  • Identity and authorization review
  • Standardized content preparation
  • Administrator review and managed updates
Payment never buys
  • Higher placement or larger cards
  • Favorable editing or an endorsement
  • Removal or suppression of an opponent
Coverage labels

Missing information should never look complete.

Confirmed

Matched to a cited official record.

Partial

Some jurisdictions or fields are available; others are clearly named.

Being reviewed

Research is in progress and absence should not be treated as a factual conclusion.

Date not announced

The election is expected, but no official date is published.

Campaign information unavailable

No approved campaign-controlled submission appears.

Accountability

See something wrong?

Reports involving official facts are checked against the responsible election authority. Campaign-profile reports enter administrator review without allowing third parties to rewrite the candidate’s statements.
