Kalshi adds Ballotpedia-powered My Ballot guide to its Midterms Hub

Kalshi launched My Ballot on Oct. 15, 2026, a personalized ballot guide inside the exchange’s Midterms Hub that uses data from Ballotpedia’s Sample Ballot Lookup Tool to show users the races on their ballot, then pairs those contests with Kalshi’s market forecasts in races where the exchange has active markets.

The company said the feature is available through Kalshi’s website and mobile app and that it will cover every race where the exchange has an active market through Election Day.

How My Ballot works

Kalshi uses Ballotpedia’s election data to match a user’s address to the contests on that user’s ballot.

The company said users will see races ranging from U.S. Senate, House and governor races to state legislative contests and statewide ballot measures.

The guide joins the hub’s existing Race Intel data, supplied by VoteHub, which Kalshi said includes polling averages, fundraising data reported to the FEC and past presidential results.

Kalshi said it aims to reach voters who arrive at the polls knowing little about contests lower on the ticket, noting that turnout in midterms is typically lower than in presidential election years.

The company reported that more than 80% of visitors to its Midterms Hub do not trade, instead treating the hub as an added source in their media mix.

Kalshi also said it does not create the forecasts shown in the hub: prices form on an open, public order book as participants trade against each other, with every trade and price change visible to the public.

What Kalshi and Ballotpedia said

Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour said in the announcement: “Markets are an antidote to partisan misinformation. Our election contracts create accurate forecasts that help people understand the world better. Adding Ballotpedia’s nonpartisan ballot information will make our product even stronger.”

Ballotpedia founder and CEO Leslie Graves said that “for nearly two decades, voters, journalists, researchers, campaigns, and government agencies have turned to Ballotpedia for verified, nonpartisan information on politics, policy, and elections,” and that professional editorial staff research and maintain its content.

What the Sample Ballot Lookup Tool covers

On its Sample Ballot Lookup page, Ballotpedia says users enter the address where they are registered to vote to view the elections and candidates on their ballot, and it states that the tool cannot be used to cast a vote.

According to Ballotpedia, the tool covers every candidate in upcoming elections within the 100 most-populated U.S. cities, along with federal, statewide and territorial contests nationwide, ballot measures included.

It notes that its coverage does not extend to every local office and that tribal elections are excluded.

Ballotpedia says it regularly tests the tool by comparing its lookup results for an address against the official sample ballot for the same address, and that it aims for 100% accuracy for offices within its coverage scope.
