Fall 2026 Ballotpedia Fellows Program
Details
Description
Ballotpedia, the Encyclopedia of American Politics, is recruiting individuals passionate about expanding access to fact-based political information to join the Fall 2026 cohort of our Ballotpedia Fellows Program. As a trusted, nonpartisan online resource, we provide voters and readers with reliable information on elections, governance, and public policy.
As a Ballotpedia Fellow, you will help expand our data-driven research on American politics. The Fall 2026 program will focus on conducting in-depth research on local candidates from across the country who will appear on the ballot in the 2026 elections.
The Fall 2026 Ballotpedia Fellows Program will run from Tuesday, Sept. 8, through Friday, Nov. 6, 2026. Fellows are asked to contribute 5-10 hours per week, completed on a flexible and independent schedule to accommodate school, extracurricular activities, or other commitments.
Ballotpedia can provide documentation for community service hours, course credit, or other verification upon request. Court-mandated hours cannot be counted. Fellows will need access to a computer or laptop and a reliable internet connection. Due to the competitive nature of this volunteer program, applicants must be U.S. citizens or visa holders and at least high school age.
