The Problem

Local elections have abysmal turnout. Municipal races often lack party labels, and candidates get almost no media coverage. Voters walk into the booth with no idea who’s running or what they stand for.

The Solution

Church Voter Guides gives every candidate a level playing field. Standardized questionnaires go out to all candidates, and their verbatim responses are published side-by-side. Churches distribute the guides to congregations through print, QR codes, and the web, all fully 501(c)(3) compliant.

What It Does

• Manage elections end-to-end including election days, offices, seats, contests, and candidates across multiple counties.
• Candidate questionnaires use magic-link authentication so candidates can submit responses to standardized questions.
• Multi-county support lets candidates running in multiple counties copy answers across contests.
• The volunteer liaison system assigns volunteers to track candidate outreach and response collection.
• Print-ready PDF guides are auto-generated with table of contents, page breaks, and county filtering.
• The public comparison view shows side-by-side candidate responses for informed voting decisions.

The Result

Informed voters. Higher turnout. Every candidate gets a fair shot to share their positions, no matter their budget or connections.
