Seven steps, in the order you actually do them. Pick your state once and every step fills in with your own state’s real deadline — the date your state published, with the link back to where it published it. It takes a lot of work to do your civic duty. This is the part we can carry for you.
Your state and your ticked boxes live in the link itself. Look at your address bar as you tick things — it changes. Copy that link and it reopens exactly here, on any device, for anyone you send it to. We never see it. There is no account, no cookie doing the work, and nothing about you leaves your own browser.
It works off the internet too. Download it as a plain text file, or hit print — the print version drops the buttons, keeps every date, and writes each link out in full so a piece of paper is still useful.
Every date is your state’s own. Not our math, not an average, not a neighbouring state’s rule applied to yours. Where your state hasn’t published something we could verify, this page says so and sends you to your election office instead of guessing. That is the whole rule here: beta means incomplete, never fake.
This page is deliberately the short version — the next thing to do, and when. When you want the full table of every date your state published, or the people on your ballot:
Every deadline your state published, all 51 of them →
Put your state’s next deadline on your own website →
Who is actually on your ballot — 10 states built so far →
Meet your federal delegation, all 50 states →
See who paid them →
