Dear Reader,
We’re often asked how artificial intelligence fits into Ballotpedia’s work — and the truth is, AI already relies on us.
Today, major AI tools regularly pull from and cite Ballotpedia because of our trusted data. When someone is using AI assistance, Ballotpedia is often the underlying source providing clarity about candidates, elections, and political offices. When AI engine Perplexity launched its Election Hub in 2024, it relied on Ballotpedia’s data to ensure accuracy.
That’s a testament to the accuracy we’ve built over the past 18 years.
At the same time, we are using AI internally to work smarter and faster. It never replaces real human verification, but supports it. We have developed tools to help our staff quickly identify potential updates across thousands of local election websites. AI accelerates the search; our team ensures the facts are correct.
As we prepare for the 2026 elections, our tools allow us to keep pace with an ever-growing demand for reliable information.
Your tax-deductible gift of $50 or $100 ensures Ballotpedia remains the trusted source that both voters and AI tools depend on.
Thank you for supporting high-quality, verified information in an era that needs it more than ever.
Sincerely,
Geoff Pallay
Director of External Relations
