GAMC provides candidates with an opportunity to communicate directly with informed voters in a setting focused on issues rather than campaign slogans.

Candidate profiles, voter guides, and community discussions help voters better understand each candidate's priorities, qualifications, and positions before casting their ballots.

Candidates may create a voter guide profile that can include:

• Biography
• Photograph
• Campaign priorities
• Policy positions
• Contact information
• Campaign website
• Optional campaign video

These materials become part of election-specific voter guides available to voters throughout the election season.

Yes.

Candidates are encouraged to participate respectfully in discussions, answer questions from voters, clarify their positions, and engage in productive civic dialogue.

Forum discussions are intended to encourage meaningful conversations rather than campaign advertising, giving voters the opportunity to better understand the people seeking public office.

Election officials may register as official representatives and use the site to contribute information that helps voters stay informed throughout the election process.

Authorized election officials may upload or update information such as:

• Candidate lists
• Election schedules
• Sample ballots
• Election results
• Official notices
• Public announcements

Providing timely official information helps ensure voters have access to accurate election resources from trusted sources.

State, county, and local party officials play an important role in helping voters and candidates stay informed throughout the election process.

Party officials may:

• Encourage candidates to create voter guide profiles
• Share official party announcements and notices
• Help communicate election information to local candidates
• Support civic engagement throughout the election cycle

Our goal is to provide another avenue for communication between voters, candidates, and party leadership while maintaining the forum's commitment to respectful civic discussion.

Candidates who complete their voter guide profile, participate in forum discussions, and engage respectfully with community members are more likely to help voters understand their qualifications, priorities, and positions on important issues.

Our goal is not simply greater visibility, but more meaningful conversations between candidates and the communities they hope to serve.

Yes. Campaign staff or authorized representatives may assist candidates in maintaining their voter guide information and responding to community questions, provided they have the candidate's authorization.

No. GAMC is not here to promote one party, candidate, or political viewpoint. We want voters to be able to learn about all of the candidates running in their elections, compare their choices, follow the issues they care about, and make their own informed decisions.

Whenever practical, GAMC uses official election-authority sources such as Secretaries of State, State Boards of Elections, election divisions and other government election offices.

Candidate profile information such as biographies, priorities, qualifications, photographs, statements, and other campaign material may also be submitted by the candidate or an authorized campaign representative. Candidate-provided information is presented separately from official election-source information. Learn more about our data sources, updates, and verification process

That’s exactly one of the problems GAMC hopes to solve. Candidate information can be scattered across campaign websites, social media, election offices, news stories, and other sources. We want to give you one starting place where you can see who is running and then follow the available links and research tools to learn more.
