As a trusted, nonpartisan online resource, we provide voters and readers with reliable information on elections, governance, and public policy.

The Summer 2026 program will focus on conducting in-depth research on local candidates from across the country who will appear on the ballot in the 2026 midterm elections. The Summer 2026 Ballotpedia Fellows Program will run from Tuesday, May 26, through Friday, July 24, 2026. Fellows are asked to contribute 5-10 hours per week, completed on a flexible and independent schedule to accommodate school, extracurricular activities, or other commitments. Ballotpedia can provide documentation for community service hours, course credit, or other verification upon request (court-mandated hours cannot be counted). Fellows will need access to a computer or laptop and a reliable internet connection.

As a Fellow, you will help build more complete local candidate profiles using the same research standards as full-time staff. Your work ensures that millions of voters have access to detailed information about the local candidates on their ballot. This includes gathering critical data points such as candidate endorsements, campaign themes, contact information, social media profiles and campaign websites. Quality Assurance: Ballotpedia takes our commitment to quality and accuracy very seriously. Fellows help verify and validate candidate information entered by other volunteers. Some fellows will have the opportunity to review spreadsheets with candidate data to ensure data points are accurate and up-to-date.
