Turn a voter's sample ballot (any U.S. state, county or city) into a nonpartisan research guide (web page + PDF) and a one-page fill-in ballot cheat sheet, with state-specific first-time-voter rules and voting windows, plus mandatory quality checks against the official ballot and sources. Also helps the voter find their sample ballot.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ballot Research Guide Produce two deliverables from a voter's sample ballot: 1. **Research guide**, in three forms: - **Web page (artifact):** the main on-screen version, one continuous scrolling page with no pagination. - **Standalone HTML file:** the same page as one self-contained file that opens in any browser, offline or as an email attachment. - **PDF:** for printing. Every contest appears in exact ballot order. Contested races get a full box (poll strip, candidate facts, links); uncontested races get one line in their ballot position. 2. **Cheat sheet.** One printable letter page listing every contest in exact ballot order, with checkboxes to fill in before voting. **Both outputs use the same contest numbers: the contest's position on the ballot (1..N).** Contest #17 is the same race on the ballot, in the guide and on the cheat sheet. Both are built from one file, `ballot.json`, by the scripts in `scripts/`. Nothing is delivered until the quality gates in Step 6 pass. ## Ground rules (apply throughout) …

How to install
mdr add b0bsl3d/informedvoter/ballot-research-guide@sha256:f7cef32d0a860d08The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.5558bc6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
