What Ballot Scout does
Ballot Scout helps you understand your local ballot before you vote. After a short questionnaire, it goes through each race and measure on your ballot and gives you a plain-English card for each one, drawing on free public sources such as Ballotpedia, Vote411, and county election sites. It is built for voters who recognize only a few names on their ballot and want to get up to speed without being told how to vote.
