Opportunity BasketCommitment Ledger: Local Candidate Promise Registry & Scorecard Service
A hyperlocal, human-powered service that captures candidate commitments during campaigns via standardized intake forms (submitted by campaigns, volunteers, or journalists), publishes them in a simple, comparable format online, and tracks fulfillment post-election by monitoring council votes, budget allocations, and public records. Each city/county gets a dedicated Commitment Ledger page with side-by-side candidate cards showing promises, priority areas, and accountability scores updated quarterly.

Voters struggle to understand candidate positions and track political accountability between electionsVoters lack accessible, centralized information about what candidates actually prioritize and commit to during campaigns, making it difficult to hold elected officials accountable for promises made. Current solutions rely on scattered news coverage, candidate websites, and social media, which are fragmented, biased, or incomplete. This creates voter confusion and low engagement in local elections where information gaps are most severe.
