About

Who built Civio and why — our mission for a more informed democracy.

About Civio

Build your sample ballot. Walk in ready. Own your vote.

Civio is a civic accountability platform built to help everyday citizens make more informed decisions about the leaders who represent them. We believe that democracy works best when voters have access to clear, unbiased, and actionable information — not spin.

With Civio, you can research political candidates and elected officials, track their voting records, examine campaign finance relationships, flag ethical concerns, and compare leaders side by side. Our signal system lets you assign a personal accountability rating to any leader based on your own values — not anyone else's agenda.

Civio is designed for voters who are tired of empty promises and want receipts. The feature our users love most is the sample ballot builder — look up your real ballot, research every race and measure, mark your picks, and save your plan privately. Whether you're preparing for a local school board election or a national midterm, Civio helps you walk into the voting booth with a ballot grounded in evidence, reflect on your civic identity, and stay connected with a community of engaged citizens.

The platform is built and maintained by a small team passionate about civic technology, government transparency, and the future of participatory democracy. We are independent, non-partisan, and committed to keeping Civio a tool for all citizens — regardless of political affiliation.
