OpenBallot

Make voting less painful with Openballot.app - now live for San Francisco & Oakland! Just in time for the June 2026 special elections. Please share with your communities - we’d love everyone to experience how easy voting should be!

I've been so excited about the (surprisingly) positive feedback on @OpenBallotApp . If we helped you this election, please let us know -- it will help us stay motivated to keep improving the app!

Thanks for the shout out in the @sfstandard, @adamlashinsky! sfstandard.com/opinion/2024/1…

It’s Election Day! ☀️🗳️ Need to fill out your SF ballot fast? 🏃🏽 Use OpenBallot to get it done. ✅ openballot.app

@umang @openballot And let us know if you want to help!

Seeing @OpenBallot trend on Twitter, but they need you to log in with Google and share name, email, etc. to follow certain guides or draft your ballot decisions has to be an egregious over-step. AND there is no ToS or Privacy Policy on the site, that I could find. Way to kill a good idea.

For the past few month, I've been helping build and launch OpenBallot - a voter guide platform. OpenBallot will save you research time by showing you all the endorsements and explanations you care about in one place, and share your own. openballot.super.site

@umang @openballot Thanks for the feedback! We’re mainly volunteer run and there’s still much to do. Working on a tos and other authentication methods 🙏🏼

@karpathy @GrowSF This has many guides, including growSF: openballot.app/ballot-items. I used it and was very helpful

@LukeDz8 @karpathy @GrowSF Thanks for helping us get the word out! 😍

Voting season is upon us! For those living in SF / Bay Area, each time I recommend the @GrowSF voting guide as a great starting point for the local elections - it is long, detailed, educational, and sensible. O(~hundreds) of votes matter on local elections growsf.org/voter-guide/

Nine weeks ago I joined @OpenBallotApp , volunteering as the team’s product manager. Here’s the story, including our insights, failed paths, and ideas for the future.

We’ve just launched OpenBallot! 🎉It’s a nonpartisan tool that helps voters find, create, and share voter guides. This election, we’re starting with San Francisco and plan to expand nationally and🤞internationally!

@colinmegill Aww shucks 😊

A reminder that there's a lot more to vote on than who is going to be President - @daisystanton & friends have built a super useful tool to help figure out how you want to vote on the rest of the things on the ballot
