Great information from The Arc of the United States!

Don’t wait until you’re filling out your ballot to figure out what’s on it.

Our new resource has guidance on how to find a sample ballot, research what’s on it, understand your voting rights, and get help if you need it. You’ll also learn how artificial intelligence (AI) can help explain confusing ballot language, why AI can sometimes be wrong or biased, and why you should always double-check information using trusted sources.
