Politics can feel complicated when you’re looking at everything at once. But, what if we looked at it like a chess board.

Every position has a role. Every level of government has different powers and responsibilities. Understanding who does what can make the election process much easier to follow.

Before you make your move, know the board.

The Election Chessboard is a learning tool designed to make a complicated system easier to understand.

the goal isn’t to tell you what to think or who to support. It’s to encourage you to learn about the offices and issues on your ballot, and make your own informed decisions.

Knowledge changes how you see the board.
