BallotBuddy

BallotBuddy is a mobile + web AI-assisted civic education app that teaches how elections actually work using short, source-linked lessons and local, personalized context. Users pick their location and get bite-sized modules on registration, primaries, ballot measures, redistricting, election security, and how to verify claims. The app includes “myth vs fact” explainers that cite official documents, reputable research, and local election offices, plus a plain-language glossary. A simulated ballot lets users practice making choices and see what each office does—without telling them who to vote for. Teachers and nonprofits can assign modules, track completion, and export certificates. The business model is B2B licensing to schools, libraries, and civic orgs; consumers get a free tier with optional premium. It’s not a magic fix for polarization, but it can reduce confusion and increase basic competence.
