VoteRight

VoteRight shows you every real seat your address elects — and gives you a way to actually hold the people in those seats accountable.

NOT A GOVERNMENT SERVICE
VoteRight is an independent, nonpartisan civic information tool. We are not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government entity.

WHAT'S ON YOUR BALLOT
Enter your address once. VoteRight shows your real, complete ballot stack — from county council to school board to statewide offices — matched using the U.S. Census Bureau's official geocoder, then sourced from each state's official election authority: Maryland State Board of Elections and Virginia Department of Elections. See SOURCES below for direct links.

EVIDENCE, NOT SPIN
Every candidate score is built from cited, sourced evidence: real voting records, on-the-record positions, and verified promises, drawn from each jurisdiction's own official council or legislative records system (see SOURCES below). If the evidence isn't there yet, VoteRight says so — a candidate never gets scored on silence.

REAL ACCOUNTABILITY, HONESTLY EXPLAINED
Curious whether you can actually recall or remove an official? VoteRight maps the real legal mechanism for your specific jurisdiction — recall election, judicial removal, charter petition, or none at all — with the exact law behind it. We never suggest a legal lever that doesn't exist where you live.

REAL VOICE, TRACKED TO A RESULT
Weigh in on local advisory referenda. When a measure passes with real turnout, VoteRight turns it into a mandate that candidates are asked to answer on the record before the next election — and tracks whether the winner follows through afterward.

DEBATE THE ISSUES
Propose local policy ideas, second the ones that matter to you, and argue the case — in public, with your name attached, the way real civic debate should work.

WHERE VOTERIGHT WORKS TODAY
VoteRight is live in Washington, D.C., Montgomery County (MD), Prince George's County (MD), Fairfax County (VA), and Arlington County (VA) — with more jurisdictions on the way. If your address falls outside this area today, we'll tell you honestly rather than show you an incomplete ballot.

YOUR PRIVACY
Your address is used only to determine your ballot and eligibility. It's never matched against any voter file, never sold, and never shared. No account or sign-in required to use the app.

VoteRight is nonpartisan and independent, and does not represent, and is not affiliated with, any government entity. Advisory referenda have no legal effect and are never an official ballot — VoteRight is a civic information and organizing tool, not a government service.
