Value Proposition

Drastically lowers the barrier to creating a voter guide. Local orgs can publish *today* without hiring researchers or designers. Template ensures consistent UX and accessibility across all guides. News outlets differentiate from national outlets by providing hyper-local candidate info. Beats fragmentation because each community gets a unified, searchable resource tailored to their specific races.

Target Audience

Local news websites (weekly papers, hyperlocal outlets), civic nonprofits (League of Women Voters chapters, good-government orgs), community organizations (neighborhood associations, faith groups), and school board parent groups in small-to-mid-sized towns

Key Features

  • Drag-and-drop template editor: customize colors, logo, candidate photo layout
  • Spreadsheet import: paste candidate names, positions, answers to 5–8 questions; guide auto-generates
  • Mobile-first responsive design: guides work perfectly on phones (where most voters access info)
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Original Problem

Voters struggle to find accurate, accessible information about local election candidates

Voters in local elections like Wisconsin Assembly District races lack centralized, easy-to-access information about candidates' positions, backgrounds, and qualifications. Current solutions are fragmented across multiple news sources, candidate websites, and social media, making it time-consuming and difficult for constituents to make informed voting decisions. This information gap particularly affects voters who don't actively follow local politics or have limited time to research.
