See What’s at Stake in your Community with Ballot Information

While most people are familiar with presidential candidates, they may not be aware of important ballot measures or down-ballot races. Now, Democracy Works has partnered with Ballotpedia to provide TurboVote users with useful, accurate information about contests, candidates, and ballot measures.

What information is included?

Ballot measures

A ballot measure is a law, issue, or question that appears on a ballot. They can address a wide variety of important issues, including healthcare, taxes, education, voting rights, law enforcement, and more.

We display statewide and local ballot measures that have officially qualified to appear on the ballot. As new ballot measures are certified, they are added to the list of ballot measures.

Contests and candidates

For the November 5, 2024 elections, our ballot information covered:

  • all federal contests and candidates, including president, vice president, senate, and house of representatives

  • all state contests and candidates, including governor, treasurer, secretary of state, state legislative seats, state supreme court, district court, and court of appeals

  • local candidates and contests including mayor, county judge, county clerk, commissioners, and city councils in the top 100 cities by population, plus state capitals and school board elections in 475 districts

    • Local coverage may be limited by mapping constraints and in states where primaries have not yet been held.

Stay tuned for ballot information coverage details for the 2025 election cycle.
