Yes. Every voter can look up their races, build their ballot, check registration deadlines, and access all candidate information at no cost. We fund the platform through campaign subscriptions, data licensing, and supporter donations.
Do campaigns get to control their coverage?▼
No. Campaign subscribers get profile enhancements (videos, extended bios, endorsements) and analytics, but never editorial control over how they appear in race cards, comparisons, or search results. Non-partisan integrity is the foundation of the platform.
What does "Featured" placement mean?▼
Campaign Premium subscribers get a subtle "Featured" badge on their candidate card and appear first when voters haven't yet made a selection in that race. It's never a banner ad or pop-up — just priority positioning within the race card, clearly labeled.
Is voter data shared with campaigns?▼
Never at the individual level. Campaigns see only anonymized, aggregate analytics — total page views, ballot additions, and district-level engagement heatmaps. Individual ballot selections and personal information are never shared.
Can any candidate subscribe, regardless of party?▼
Absolutely. Campaign subscriptions are equal-access. Any candidate in any race can subscribe at any tier regardless of party affiliation. No exclusive deals or preferential treatment.
What's the CMYK direct mail integration?▼
Campaign Premium subscribers can design and send physical mailers — postcards, voter guides, GOTV reminders — to voters in their district, produced and mailed through our CMYK printing partner. Geographic targeting is constrained to the candidate's district boundaries.
