Candidate videos
We're giving all candidates the opportunity to speak directly to Ballotpedia readers with a short video. This is a unique chance to show voters your personality and tell them something they might not otherwise learn about you. Record a video, upload it to YouTube, and submit the link with your candidate questionnaire. We'll put it on your profile and in front of millions of voters! Please keep videos under two minutes, and select one of the prompts below.
Are you a candidate that already submitted your questionnaire but want to submit a video? You can submit a new questionnaire, using N/A in the required fields. Please use the same name and email address. Alternatively, you can send your video to editor@ballotpedia.org, but this may result in a slower response time.
