WHAT’S ON MY BALLOT?
Executive Branch

Most of this may be “common” knowledge, but as all of our brains are crammed full of politics, pundits, dogma and drama, we wanted to pop back over to the basics.

Firstly, the Presidential Candidates and their platforms are important, and typically we would extract the details from their individual campaign websites to sum up what they’re about. But, this year not all the candidates have released an official platform..
Because of this, it would be nearly impossible to give a fair and balanced representation of each of them.

Secondly, our purpose at is to encourage voters to engage in the civic process at every level, specifically state and local. And with that said, we have chosen to invest our attention there, rather than here.
We’ve all already heard it all.
We’d like to talk about the things we haven’t.

The one remark we do have on the Presidential position, is that while you may have locked in on who you want as President, we ask that you seek any necessary balance down the ballot. With few term limits, the widening gap between the two major parties, and an often inert Congress, it’s up to the people to declare change.

And on that note, THANK YOU to everyone who has placed their vote. We’ve got over 2 WEEKS of Early Voting to go, so let’s get out there and

What’s on My Ballot?
Branches & Positions

We’re back for Part ll of the Ballot breakdown. In these slides we go through the Branches of government that will appear on our Ballots, how they are voted on, and a few of the candidates.

We’ve found that once you begin to be able to visualize what goes where, it’s easier to decipher what your true options are.

As the positions on this ballot range from Federal positions to Local ones, it’s important we think about each position independently, but also how they each contribute to the bigger picture. While we strive to be non-partisan, we can’t deny the need for balanced representation. And since this year there isn’t a “straight ticket option” to vote straight blue or straight red, we would like to use the opportunity to explore ways of voting that reflect all of Fort Worth, not just the 5% that normally votes in an our elections.

We also hope that upon seeing that nearly 48% of the ballot is local, we can improve upon the typical 5% voter turnout. (We got up to 8% in the last primary/special city election, but we know we can still do better come Nov. 3rd!)

Because and if we want our representation to reflect the people, we’ve got to get out there an !

Next, we will go through each Branch on it’s own, decipher our way through the Texas Court Systems, go over what it really means to vote 3rd party, as well more specific breakdowns of who’s running for what. We hope this helps, but as always don’t hesitate to reach out to us with questions. You can also follow the to download YOUR Sample Ballot, as well as other important voter resources!

Early Voting begins Oct. 13th! Let’s make it count!

Here we go! 🗳📚
What’s on My Ballot?:
Where to find it / How to Read it

Fort Worth sits inside Tarrant County, which sits inside Texas. But within those city and county lines sit several districts: 6, 12, 24, 25, 26 & 33. Because of this each Sample Ballot will have small variations depending on your district.

We realize the entire voter education process is a lot, from how, to who, to when, to honestly: WHY??
While our mission is to make that whole process simpler, knowing how to find Your Ballot and how to read it is a skill we ALL need to have.
Not only before hand, so we can do our research and feel prepared, but also for Voting Day, to get us in and out, as safe and as confident as possible.

The breakdown in these slides is based on the data from one Sample Ballot for one address, but for the majority of Fort Worth residents the structure will remain the same.

SO!
+ To download your personal Sample Ballot, click the link in our Bio & select the “Find Your Sample Ballot” option.
+ You will then be prompted to fill in your Name and Birthday.
+ Next your Voter Information will display. Below make sure the first Drop Down Menu displays the Election for Nov. 3rd, and then select your preferred Language in the Drop Down Menu that reads “Select Sample Ballot.”
+ Then Click “Download.” I love to print mine, and fill it out as I make decisions on each position.

We will definitely continue to pick this apart for you, and help guide you through the Positions on the Ballot, the Branches of Government they pertain to and what their jobs are, as well as many of the Candidates up for election. Our goal isn’t to force feed you politics or to tell you who to vote for, it’s to give you the tools to be a more informed voter and to encourage you to engage in the voting process at every level. We hope this post provides a good start so we can get out there and .
