About Voting Information

Voting Information (votinginformation.ai) is a strictly non-partisan reference site for U.S. voters. Think of it as a friend who will not tell you who or what to vote for. We help you find official answers to process questions: how to register, what ID your state talks about, how mail and polling-place voting work, and where your state’s election office publishes the rules.

The site is operated by Savy Advisors LLC. It is not a government website. It is not affiliated with any agency, party, campaign, or advocacy group. We accept no political ads. If you choose to help keep the lights on, support is voluntary and not tax-deductible until a 501(c)(3) or fiscal sponsor exists — see Support this guide.

How we generate content

Every page starts with the official office, says what the paper says, and sends you back to that office to confirm. We do not invent state deadlines, ID lists, or “what will happen if you vote X.” When something depends on your county, we say so and point you there.

1. Official sources first

Factual claims link a government source whenever we can: vote.gov, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, USA.gov, your Secretary of State or state election board, and the official full text of a law or ballot measure. If we mention a non-government group (for example NCSL or Ballotpedia), we label it as non-government. We do not cite campaigns, parties, or PACs. If a rule changes by state — and most voting rules do — we link the state’s official page instead of baking a deadline into our own prose.

2. Research news (the worker farm)

The Research feed is not a person sitting at a desk all week. We send short, dated questions to a shared research service (the worker farm): what changed in election administration, state voting laws, registration processes, election security, or court rulings on procedures — usually “in the last 7 days.” Every question tells that service: stay non-partisan, stick to process, cite official or major-wire sources, and do not advocate.

When files come back, this site decides what the public sees. We hide files whose names look like site-ops junk or advocacy, and we hide bodies that sound like “please vote for…,” fundraising, or leftover robot instructions (the prompt leaking onto the page). Thin “we found nothing” stubs stay off the feed too. Hidden files are not deleted; they sit in a hold folder so a person can review them. That is why Research can look quieter than the raw dump. It is a safety gate, not a score.

3. How-to guides

Learn guides are written here, in plain language: how to register, how to think about voter ID, mail and absentee ballots, provisional ballots, polling places, poll workers, election security. They explain the process, not your choice on a contest. They do not try to list every state’s ID or deadline. They send you to vote.gov and your election office to verify the details that apply to you.

4. Ballot-measure pages

Measures pages use a fixed shape so every explainer covers the same ground. The sections are always:

  1. TL;DR — what the measure is, the election date, and “check the Secretary of State.”
  2. What is the current rule? — the baseline before this measure.
  3. If you vote YES — outcomes in the official yes language.
  4. If you vote NO — outcomes in the official no language.
  5. So what — who can do what; what goes away or stays. Effects, not a take.
  6. What else affects this? — other laws or court context, cited.
  7. Related questions adults ask — only what official text supports (for example miscarriage or parental consent when the SOS language names them).
  8. Official links — SOS title, full text, elections site.

Every factual claim on those pages cites official ballot or SOS / legislature / revisor text. We do not publish odds, polls, or “you should vote yes/no.” The farm’s news scans do not write these pages. A person fills the schema and we check the citations.

5. We are not the election office

This site is unofficial. It is not legal advice and it is not medical advice. Rules move. A clerk can update a page the day after we last checked. The yellow banner on content pages is the real instruction: always verify with your state or local election office — vote.gov or USA.gov’s office finder will get you there.

Display ads and “support this guide” banners, when they appear at all, stay on how-to and state directory pages. They do not appear on Research or ballot-measure pages.

Our rules

  • Zero advocacy. We never endorse, oppose, rate, or characterize candidates, parties, or ballot measures.
  • Official sources first. Every factual claim links a .gov source or a clearly labeled nonpartisan organization.
  • Point, don’t assert. Where rules vary by state, we link the official page rather than writing a number that may be wrong next month.
  • Verify notice everywhere. Every content page reminds you to confirm details with your election office.

What's on the site

  • Resources — official voter tools (vote.gov, EAC, FVAP, state lookups) plus a few labeled nonpartisan ones.
  • States — official election sites for all 50 states and DC.
  • Learn — original plain-language guides to voting procedures.
  • Measures — non-partisan explainers of certified ballot measures (official yes/no language; no verdict).
  • Research — an automated, citation-required feed tracking election administration news.
  • Support — optional payments to operate the site. Support is voluntary and not tax-deductible.
