Verified numbers only: every figure here has a cited source.
An independent, nonpartisan voter guide for Guam's 2026 election. Around 52 candidates (governor tickets, delegate, attorney general, and all senatorial candidates) presented in identical profiles, with an issue-alignment tool that runs entirely in the voter's browser.
The problem
Guam voters had no single place to compare every candidate on equal footing. Information lived in scattered Facebook pages and press coverage, favoring whoever had the loudest feed.
The system
A uniform directory where every candidate gets an identical profile sourced from official ballot data, plus a private, in-browser matching tool. Candidates enrich their own profiles through a claim-code portal; an admin queue reviews before anything publishes.
Inside the system
- Uniform candidate directory built only from official ballot data
- Smart Match issue-alignment scoring: 100% in-browser, no tracking of answers
- “My Ballot” bookmarking and candidate comparison
- Candidate self-service portal with magic-link claim codes
- Admin review and publish queue for candidate submissions
- Build-time content guard that fails the build on placeholder text
