Anyone who voted last November knows how confusing the ballot could be. Referendums, school board elections, and politicians you’ve never heard of take up nearly 90% of the ballot. How is anyone supposed to know who to vote for, without spending hours researching all the candidates?

Enter Grassroots. Grassroots is a non-partisan civic engagement app, which keeps you up-to-date on upcoming elections, who’s on the ballot, and where you can vote. Enter your address, and we’ll do the rest!

Local, state, and federal elections are all covered, and candidate overviews are available for everyone from the county drain commissioner to the President of the United States.

Grassroots integrates data from the Google Civic Information API. The API is supported by the Pew Charitable Trusts, Google, and election officials nationwide.
