You care about voting. You want to make good decisions. But your ballot is long, the races are confusing, and you’ve only got so much time.

OpenBallot is a simple app for voter guides. Follow newspapers, advocacy orgs, local experts, and the well-informed friends you already trust. See their picks for every item on your ballot, side by side. No more juggling a dozen guides, opening endless tabs, and doing last-minute Google searches the night before an election.

And if you have opinions of your own? Make a guide, invite your friends, and publish it. Anyone in your city can follow along.

Some people finish their ballot in under five minutes. Others use it to dig deeper and feel more confident than ever.

However you use it, you end up with a vote that feels clear, aligned, and genuinely satisfying. Like democracy actually works.

After successful pilots in San Francisco and New York City, we’re now raising funding to become the go-to source for California elections. Fast, transparent, and trustworthy voting for every kind of voter, in every kind of election.
