About 99chambers
There are 99 state legislative chambers in the United States (Nebraska's is unicameral). Together they write most of the laws Americans live under, yet their elections get little coverage. 99chambers collects the data on those elections, district by district.
Principles
- Nonpartisan. We don't endorse candidates or parties, and we present every candidate with the same fields.
- Data-driven and sourced. Every data block names its source and when it was last updated. Where we estimate something, such as past results on current district lines, the methodology explains how.
- Private. The ballot lookup sends your address to the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder to find its map location. We don't store or log addresses, and the site has no ad trackers.
- Open. District-level data is available as CSV downloads under CC BY 4.0 (source licenses apply).
