View the daily digestBuilt on 10+ years of California election data, campaign finance records from 185+ jurisdictions, voter registration for all 58 counties, and precinct-level results wherever available.
Step-by-step workflows for answering real political questions under time pressure.
Collecting California political data has always been fragmented and time-consuming. Statewide data lives in one place, county data in another, and city data is scattered across hundreds of different sources.
Local data—especially precinct-level results and candidate information—is particularly hard to find. Each jurisdiction has its own format, its own website, and its own idiosyncrasies.
The Ballot Book centralizes election results, voter registration, district profiles, and campaign finance data into one comprehensive platform. We do the hard work of gathering, cleaning, and standardizing data so you can focus on analysis and strategy.
