Welcome to BallotNav

BallotNav is a project at Hack for LA that aims to prevent disenfranchisement by providing reliable and up-to-date information on ballot drop-off locations across the US. Due to distrust in the postal service, misguided information from the media, an inconsistent pool of resources provided by the government, and societal shifts caused by COVID-19, it is now more important than ever to have useful resources for those hoping to have their voices heard.
