What this is

Know My Ballot helps Alabama voters understand what may appear on their ballot and feel more prepared before voting. For each race, you'll learn what the office does, where candidates stand on key issues, and who may be affected by their decisions.

We focus on explaining, not persuading. Our candidate pages are editorially curated from publicly available information and include source citations whenever possible.
