Our approach to policy

Public officials make policy decisions that have far-reaching effects on our everyday lives. Ballotpedia's Policy Portal is your gateway to understanding why, how, and who makes these choices.

And we do it in the way people have come to expect from Ballotpedia: clearly, factually, comprehensively, and neutrally.
