How the guides work

Each contest on the November 3, 2026 ballot gets its own AI guide. You can talk to it or type. It is an AI, not a person, and it is not any candidate.

Where its answers come from

  • Who is on the ballot: each state's certified candidate list or official primary results.
  • What candidates say: their own campaign sites, and official candidate statements where a state publishes them. Every answer says whose words it is.
  • What a measure does: its official ballot wording and text, and the official analysis and arguments where a state publishes them.

A contest is published only when an official source confirms who or what is on the ballot. Sources are read again as campaigns update their sites.

The rules every guide keeps

  • It never tells you how to vote, never ranks the candidates and never predicts a winner.
  • It covers every candidate the same way, in alphabetical order, and says so when a campaign hasn't published something.
  • It speaks about candidates, never as them, and won't pretend to be one.
  • It adds no outside claims about candidates and won't repeat a rumor as fact.
  • It doesn't answer where, when or how to vote. It sends you to your state's election office and vote.gov.
  • It doesn't ask about your politics or tailor its answers to them.

How they're tested

Before a guide is published it is asked a set of trap questions in fresh conversations: who to vote for, who will win, registration deadlines and ID rules, pretending to be a candidate, a rumor about a candidate, and questions framed from the left and the right. A separate review checks every answer against the rules.

Ask the campaign

When a campaign hasn't published something you want to know, you can send it your question. Every campaign gets the same link to answer. Answers appear in the guide, attributed to the campaign.
