Endorsements voters can find — and trust.

ballot.watch is where endorsing organizations publish their slates, run committee endorsement polls, and share voter guides with members — alongside the races voters are already researching.

How It Works
★

Where Your Endorsements Live

When voters look up a race on ballot.watch, they see who endorsed each candidate inline — not buried in a PDF on a separate site.

🏆

On Candidate Cards

Your endorsement badge appears next to candidate names in race listings, on candidate detail pages, and on the voter's personalized ballot.

📋

On Your Organization Profile

Every endorsement you publish appears on your public org page — filterable by state, race level, and election cycle. One link covers your entire slate.

🌐

On State Endorsement Pages

Voters browsing endorsements by state see every organization endorsing in that state — including yours — in one consolidated directory.

How to Get Listed

Whether you're an established 501(c) with decades of voter guides or a brand-new advocacy committee, the path on is the same.

Claim or Create Your Org

Sign in with email, then either claim an existing organization (we may already track endorsements you've published publicly) or create a new one.

  • Name, type, state, mission
  • Logo & website URL
  • Political leaning (optional)
  • Issue areas you focus on

Get Verified

Our editorial team reviews each application to confirm the organization is real and the requester is authorized. Most are approved within 2 business days.

From your org dashboard, add endorsements one at a time or import a slate. Each endorsement requires a verifiable source URL.

  • Cite source (your site, press release, PDF)
  • Withdraw or update anytime
  • Bulk import via CSV (Pro & Premium)

Run Your Endorsement Committee

Most organizations don't endorse alone — a committee deliberates and votes. ballot.watch gives you the tools to run that process online and publish the result with one click.

Invite your committee. Open a poll. Publish the result.

Add committee members as Voters or Chairs. Open an endorsement poll scoped to a state, race level, or specific race. Members vote — openly or blind — and when the poll closes, the chair publishes the winning recommendation as an official org endorsement.

  • Single-pick or multi-pick voting — choose one candidate or rank several
  • Blind results — hide running tallies until the poll closes
  • "No endorsement" option — let the committee decline to endorse
  • Scope filters — one poll per race, or one big poll for all federal races at once
  • Audit trail — who opened, who voted, who published, with timestamps
Endorsement Poll — Example
Nevada U.S. Senate Open
Aaron Ford 7 / 11 votes
Catherine Cortez Masto 3 / 11 votes
No endorsement 1 / 11 votes
Closes May 30, 2026 · Blind voting Chair only

Editorial Standards

ballot.watch tracks endorsements from public sources regardless of whether an organization has a paid account. Paid tiers add visibility features — logo badges, analytics, printed voter guides — but cannot suppress, alter, or fabricate endorsement records. Every endorsement listed requires a verifiable source URL, and our editorial team independently maintains accuracy for all organizations, paid or not.
