Without an account

Your answers and your district numbers are kept on the device you are using, and nowhere else. We never see them.

With an account

We keep your email, your answers to the questions, the choices on your Sample Ballot, and your district number, so they can follow you to another phone or browser. Your password is stored scrambled; we cannot read it.

Who can see your answers

Only you, signed in. They are not shown to other people, and not sold or shared. Your Sample Ballot is worked out from them on your own device; nothing about it is sent to us.

Your address

If you look up your ballot by address, the address is sent to NYC Planning’s address search, and the map point it returns is sent to NYC Planning’s district maps (hosted by Esri ArcGIS). We never see or keep the address. Your device keeps only the district numbers: U.S. House, State Senate, Assembly, City Council, Civil Court district and borough. Only the U.S. House district is copied to your account if you sign in.

Counting visits

We count how many people open each page, using Vercel Web Analytics. It uses no cookies and does not identify you. We see totals, never your answers or your address.

Leaving

You can delete your account at any time from Your account. That deletes your email and every answer saved with it, straight away.

Where it is kept

Accounts are stored with Supabase, in the United States. The site is served by Vercel.
