About Kator
Kator means “Know your ballot before you vote.” We believe every voter deserves easy access to clear, nonpartisan information about what’s on their ballot and who represents them.
What Kator Does
- Ballot lookup — See every race, candidate, and ballot measure on your upcoming ballot, personalized to your address.
- Representative finder — Look up your elected officials at every level of government — federal, state, and local — with contact information.
- Polling locations — Find where to vote and when polling places are open.
Our Principles
Nonpartisan
We present civic information without endorsements, bias, or political affiliation.
Private
Your address is used only to look up your civic data. We don’t store or track your information.
Transparent
All data comes from the Google Civic Information API, a public data source maintained by Google.
Free
Civic information should be accessible to everyone. Kator is free to use, always.
Data Source
Kator is powered by the Google Civic Information API, which provides access to U.S. election and representative data. When no active election is available, you’ll still see your current elected officials.
Data accuracy depends on the information available from official election authorities and the Google Civic Information API.
