CANDIDATE, ISSUE, AND PRIMARY GUIDES

People often don’t vote because they don’t know where candidates stand and are confused about how to find out. In response, CEEP creates nonpartisan, state-specific guides to help navigate key positions. We research salient voting records and what candidates say to different groups, not just what they say on their websites, so the guides are an antidote to political spin. Our research team includes a long-time Encyclopaedia Britannica editor and veteran reporters from Los Angeles Times, Time, Business Week and AP. If you’re at a college or university, please use our distribution suggestions to help share our guides campus-wide.
