About Ledger

Ledger is a conduit for the already-public political record. Ledger surfaces what is already true and already public — the ballot a voter will see, the offices and contests on it, the candidates running, the calendar that governs participation — without inserting Ledger as an interpreter, ranker, or advocate. Candidate and contest coverage is federal; statewide measures and legislator records activate per state.

Who runs Ledger

Ledger is an independent civic product. Ledger is not a campaign, a party, a newsroom, or a government office. Ledger does not endorse candidates, campaigns, or parties. Product questions go to Ledger through Contact.

How Ledger sources claims

Civic facts on Ledger must be publicly verifiable, presented without characterization, and attributed. A fact is traceable to an official or primary source — government filings, a candidate's own official statements, recorded votes. When a claim cannot be sourced that way, it does not belong in the product.

What Ledger will not do

Ledger does not endorse, recommend, or rank candidates or measures. Ledger does not publish editorial analysis of who is better. Ledger does not accept, hold, route, or process donations. Ledger does not accept advertising from candidates, parties, PACs, or advocacy organizations.

Vera

Vera is Ledger's conversational assistant, distinct from Ledger the product. Vera answers from cited public sources and declines opinion-style questions. Vera refers to itself as Vera or in the first-person singular, never as a team. The full charter is published in Ledger's AI Policy. Ledger AI Policy.

Live Polls

Ledger's Live Polls are a user-opinion surface. They are not part of the primary-source civic record Vera cites. Poll questions are editorially reviewed; campaign sources are excluded. Live Polls.
