Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary
You aced Civics 101. Welcome to Civics 250
Ballotpedia’s series for America's 250th. Each month through the end of 2026, we'll unroll the floor plans of elections, politics, and policy in America: The Blueprints of Democracy. Join us for articles on topics over the course of this year, ranging from how recall elections work across the country to how elections are administered to how rules and processes shape what government does. It's all built around one question: What do you need to know to understand how the American government actually operates?
Dig into the offices, elections, and rules most civics textbooks never mention.
