BallotQuest

Get ready for your first vote by reading the ballot itself (ages 15–18): mark a synthetic sample ballot, decode each measure's summary against its fiscal note, practise lateral reading on a made-up claim, and learn your state's registration rules. Non-partisan by construction — no real candidates or measures. On-device, no data leaves your device.

Distributed-narrative cast

Meet the cast

BallotQuest's guides are text-forward (ages 15–18, no illustrated storybook): each is a PART of a ballot (R-DN-PARITY). Non-partisan by construction.

P

Prop

a proposition — a plain-language change you vote yes/no on

B

Bond

borrowed money the fiscal note says is repaid, with interest

R

Retain

a keep-or-not question about a sitting judge — on the record, not party

P

Precinct

where and how you vote — mail, early, or election day

D

Deadline

the registration cut-off you cannot miss
