Happy #ElectionDay to everyone in #Georgia, #Idaho, #Kentucky and #Oregon! 🎉 #VOTE! 🗳

Every election, we show up to vote and attempt to decipher dozens of offices and referendums. But imagine how much harder it would be… in another language. This is exactly what hundreds of thousands of first generation voters experience, especially those from Georgia's growing AAPI communities. Thankfully, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta and Branch teamed up to solve this problem and empower thousands of Georgia voters with in-language, nonpartisan candidate information. "One of the biggest questions we receive at the door or just talking to voters is, who are the candidates? Who should I vote for?” as explains Berenice Rodriguez, Civic Engagement & Organizing Director at Advancing Justice-Atlanta. Advancing Justice-Atlanta used Branch’s Ballot Builder product to provide content in 10 different languages.

Exciting news, everyone! 🎉 WESTERN NATIVE VOICE, Inc. and Branch Politics have teamed up to bring you the latest edition of Ballot Builder—a game-changing nonpartisan voting tool—now available in #Montana! We get it - politics can be overwhelming! But it is so important to recognize how impactful local and state elections are in our everyday lives. That's why Western Native Voice is using Ballot Builder to give Native voters in Montana transparent, accurate information about where candidates stand on the issues that matter most. Head to wnv.branch.vote, enter your address, and voila! You'll get a personalized breakdown of everything on your ballot, from candidate backgrounds to where they stand on key issues. Ronnie Jo Horse, Executive Director of Western Native Voice, sums it up best: "Ballot Builder was created to empower Native American voters to make informed decisions about every candidate and simplify complex ballot initiatives. It's a step towards ensuring voters feel more confident when exercising their right to vote."

🗳️ I'm thrilled that Atlanta Civic Circle has again partnered with Leroy Chapman Jr. and the AJC team to launch Georgia Decides, a free, nonpartisan voter guide. It's live now, just in time for the May 21 primary; early voting is underway. A few points of pride: → For the first time, the guide is available statewide and is free for partner newsrooms. → We put more emphasis on the user experience, partnering with Walter Ley at Branch Politics to make it a breeze for voters to research candidates regardless of which ballot they select. → A reader survey informed the candidate questionnaire. ACC has more surveys planned leading up to the Nov. election. Big thanks to Sharif Durhams, Charles Minshew, Nicole Williams, Brian Ikeda, and so many others on the Georgia Decides team for bringing the guide to life.
