Government intake · partner portal

Push your ballot data to us

County registrars and state election offices can push measures, races, and official arguments directly into ThinkBallot's pipeline — authenticated, provenance-stamped, and staged. Nothing publishes without passing the same grounding checks and human review as every other source.

How a push flows

1 · Push

Your system POSTs to /intake/v1 with partner credentials.

2 · Staging

The record lands in staging — never the live dataset. Your office is recorded as its source.

3 · Pipeline

The same grounding pass and cite-or-omit checks run on your content.

4 · Review

A human reviews the generated card against your submission.

5 · Published

A new dataset version goes live, your office cited on every field.
