About

Ballotpedia is the digital encyclopedia of American politics and elections, and Ballotpedia News is our hub for breaking news. Our goal is to inform people about politics by providing accurate and objective information about politics at all levels of government. We are firmly committed to neutrality in our content.

As a nonprofit, our mission is to educate. We’re here for you when:

  • You’re considering a run for office.
  • You’re making decisions about how you’ll vote in an election.
  • You need the latest political news and analysis from a reliable, nonpartisan source.

Ballotpedia’s articles are 100 percent written by our professional staff of more than 50 writers and researchers. Although we have an office in Middleton, Wisconsin, the majority of our staff work from home offices across the United States. Geoff Pallay serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Ballotpedia. See a full list of Ballotpedia’s employees.

Ballotpedia is a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit organization and is not affiliated with any campaigns or candidates for office. All gifts to Ballotpedia are tax deductible to the extent of the law and help to provide voters with information about their ballots.
