About Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection Expansion Project
Ballotpedia is looking to better connect voters to candidates ahead of the 2021 local elections in the six cities listed below. What is happening in these communities that voters want to hear from their candidates about? What are the pressing issues they want their officials to address? Ballotpedia is seeking suggestions for questions to be added to our candidate survey with this form here. Individuals whose questions are included in our surveys are eligible to receive $50. These questions will be reviewed by a Candidate Connection Expansion Project Advisory Board that will narrow all submissions to 5-7 questions per city. More about this board in the following section.
List of cities:
- Birmingham, Alabama
- Atlanta, Georgia
- Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Jersey City, New Jersey
- Cleveland, Ohio
- Seattle, Washington
About the Candidate Connection Expansion Project Advisory Board
Ballotpedia is creating an advisory board to review the questions submitted by voters and narrow the submissions to 5-7 questions per city. The board is set to meet the week of June 21-25 to review the submitted questions. (Exact time to be determined once the group has been selected.) All board members will be awarded a $500 honorarium for their time.
