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.

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.
Prop
a proposition — a plain-language change you vote yes/no on
Bond
borrowed money the fiscal note says is repaid, with interest
Retain
a keep-or-not question about a sitting judge — on the record, not party
Precinct
where and how you vote — mail, early, or election day
Deadline
the registration cut-off you cannot miss
