About This Guide

What is this?

This is an AI-powered assistant designed to help King County voters better understand the ballot measures in the February 10, 2026 Special Election.

Ballot propositions are often written in dense or legalistic language, making it hard to understand what a "yes" or "no" vote means. Even when the language is clear, understanding the real-world impact on residents, households, and communities can still be difficult.

This tool provides neutral information about each proposition and can include local or personal implications based on information users choose to share, such as household size or a property's assessed value.

This assistant is a pilot program. Feedback from this pilot will be used to inform and improve voter education tools ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections.

Why not use a general AI provider (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)?

This guide serves as a model for how AI can support democracy by making local elections more understandable, accessible, and trustworthy. We encourage you to use the tools you're most comfortable with. While general AI is a powerful tool, it is prone to "hallucinations"—confidently stating facts that are outdated or incorrect. The King County Voter Guide is built specifically for election integrity. We use grounded AI technology that only pulls information from official, verified sources and include citations. To ensure total transparency, we publish the prompt and source data. Users are also encouraged to provide feedback to improve the experience.
