Politics is confusing and frustrating, and that's on purpose. Everything you need to know before you vote already exists, but it's scattered, buried, and slow to dig up.

By The People does the hard part. Here you can see your candidates: what they stand for, what their track record actually is, and who's spending money for and against them. We don't tell you who to vote for, we just empower you with knowledge to make that choice for yourself.

This platform is neutral because we think the task demands it.

Built in the open

This is an early experience, and we're building it in the open. Tell us what's missing and we'll change it fast. We want By The People to grow into whatever makes democracy work better. Your feedback shapes that.

BTP is built by two people who are tired of politics as it is: Andrew and Trent.

We're in beta

By The People is still being built, so some information may be incomplete or out of date. Always confirm details with official sources — such as your county Board of Elections — before relying on anything here to vote.
