LocalVoter: Standardized Candidate Profile & Questionnaire Service
A managed service that contacts candidates in a given race (city council, school board, county commission, etc.), sends them a standardized questionnaire covering 15-20 core local issues (zoning, budget priorities, public safety approach, etc.), and publishes their responses in a unified, side-by-side comparison format. The service handles all candidate outreach, follow-up, and quality control—voters get clean, comparable answers from all candidates in one place.

Value Proposition
Eliminates the fragmentation problem by forcing standardization—voters see the SAME questions answered by ALL candidates, making comparison real. News orgs get ready-made, credible content. Candidates who don't respond are visibly absent, creating pressure to participate. Beats existing tools because it's human-managed (higher response rates) and locally specific (not a generic national platform).

Local news organizations, civic leagues, League of Women Voters chapters, and municipal government communications offices running elections

Voters struggle to find reliable, unbiased information about local political candidates before electionsVoters searching for candidate information face fragmented, incomplete, and often biased sources that make it difficult to make informed decisions. Current news coverage is inconsistent and often arrives too late in the election cycle, leaving voters confused about candidates' positions, qualifications, and track records. This information gap forces voters to rely on political ads, social media, or incomplete candidate websites.
