Every office. Every state.
We’re building the first-ever interactive guide to every elected office in America – from the President of the United States, all the way down to those obscure positions at the bottom of your ballot that you might have wondered about every time you vote. If you’ve ever asked yourself:
- What do these people on my ballot actually do?
- How do I make a difference on the issues I’m passionate about?
- Who do I call if I need help from my government?
…the Genius Guides are here for you!
How to use the Genius Guides
For each government official, check out ‘The Basics’ to get a general idea of what they do. If you live in Louisiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Virginia, you can scroll down and click on your state for additional details on how things work. If your state isn’t there yet, check back often – we’ll be adding more states in the future, and the info in ‘The Basics’ applies to everybody.
