The Voter's Preparation Guide
A Workbook for Understanding Your Values, Your Ballot, and Your Vote
You have more power in that booth than anywhere else in civic life. Know how you intend to use it.
For the voter who has values but has never had a structured method for translating them to every race on their ballot.
The Name It First Experience
The ballot is longer than most people expect. Judges. Local measures. School board races. Constitutional amendments. By the time you are standing in the booth, you either already know what you think or you are guessing. This guide gives you the structure to know. You will clarify your values, research candidates and measures with a documented method, and produce a completed Voter's Prep Sheet — every race and measure, with your reasoning recorded. The output is not a voting recommendation. It is your decision, documented.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you actually know about the candidates or measures on your ballot — and what are you still trying to figure out?
- What values or priorities do you want your vote to reflect, and how do you decide when the options feel imperfect?
- What makes voting feel meaningful to you — or what would need to be true for it to feel that way?
