About ClearElect

Built by a voter,
for every voter.

ClearElect exists because the information voters need to make fully informed decisions has never been in one place — clearly, neutrally, and freely available to everyone.


The problem we're solving

Millions of voters skip local races on their ballot — a phenomenon researchers call "ballot roll-off." Not because they don't care, but because they simply don't know who the candidates are. Local judges. School board members. County commissioners. These are the people who shape your daily life more directly than most federal officials — yet most voters walk past their races entirely.

Existing voter guides provide raw data. ClearElect synthesizes it. We use AI to generate plain-language, unbiased summaries of every candidate on your personal ballot — the same neutral format for every party, every race, every candidate — and we make it available on any device, for any voter.

No spin. No agenda. No advertising. Ever.

I am the voter ClearElect is built for. Like millions of Americans, I have walked into polling booths unprepared for half the races on my ballot — not because I didn't care, but because the information simply wasn't accessible in a form I could use quickly and trust completely. That frustration is what built ClearElect. I believe democracy works best when every voter — regardless of party, income, or zip code — has access to clear, honest information about the people asking for their vote.

What makes ClearElect different

Identical treatment for all
Every candidate gets the same format, the same word count, and the same neutral AI prompt — regardless of party. No exceptions.
Set the record straight
Every attack claim appears alongside the targeted candidate's sourced rebuttal. We publish both. We judge neither. You decide.
Match by your values
Rate the issues that matter most to you and see which candidates actually align — not just by party label.
Published methodology
Our AI prompts and neutrality standards are published publicly and auditable by anyone. We invite scrutiny because we have nothing to hide.
