What is this?

This is an AI-powered assistant designed to help King County voters better understand the ballot measures in the February 10, 2026 Special Election.

Ballot propositions are often written in dense or legalistic language, making it hard to understand what a "yes" or "no" vote means. Even when the language is clear, understanding the real-world impact on residents, households, and communities can still be difficult.

This tool provides neutral, factual information about each proposition, including a plain-language summary and commonly cited arguments for and against. It can also help voters think through potential local or personal implications based on information they choose to share, such as broad household characteristics (for example, household size or a property's assessed value) or other high-level context.

This assistant is a pilot program. Feedback from this pilot will be used to inform and improve voter education tools ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections.
