A non-partisan civic engagement tool that helps people understand where parties and candidates stand on key issues.
This Groundswell grant supported Build a Ballot to expand its voter engagement work from the 2025 federal election into the Victorian and NSW state elections. The funding helped scale a tool already used by almost 600,000 Australians to compare candidates and plan their vote. The work aimed to increase informed participation and make climate policy a more visible part of state election decision-making.
