Kalshi Launches Personalized Ballot Guide With Ballotpedia Data

Kalshi is giving voters a personalized view of their ballots and pairing election odds with the races they can vote in.

The exchange has launched My Ballot, a feature in its Midterms Hub that uses Ballotpedia’s election data to match a user’s address with the contests on their ballot. Where Kalshi has an active market, the guide also displays its market-driven forecast. The company announced the launch Thursday.

Kalshi launched its Midterms Hub in July. 

The product is available on Kalshi’s website and mobile app. Its scope extends beyond the marquee Senate and governor contests that dominate 2026 midterm election coverage, including House races, state legislative contests, and statewide ballot measures.

A ballot guide with market odds attached

The feature brings together two distinct information sources. Ballotpedia supplies election data that identifies which contests appear on a voter’s ballot. Kalshi supplies prices from its exchange for races with active markets. 

Those forecasts are generated by traders buying and selling contracts, not by Ballotpedia or an editorial forecast from Kalshi.

The ballot information tells users what they can vote on, while the market prices offer a continuously changing assessment of what traders expect to happen. Not every contest identified in the guide will necessarily have a corresponding Kalshi market.

My Ballot also expands a hub that already includes VoteHub’s Race Intel data, which provides polling averages, Federal Election Commission fundraising information and past presidential results. Together, those features give users several ways to assess a contest rather than relying on its market price alone.

Kalshi pitches an information product, not just a trading screen

The launch also highlights the audience Kalshi is trying to reach beyond customers who place trades.

According to the company, more than 80% of visitors to its Midterms Hub do not trade, instead using it as an additional source of election information. The release does not specify the measurement period or methodology behind that figure.

Adding an address-based ballot guide gives those visitors a more personal entry point. Instead of starting with the most heavily traded national contests, users can start with the elections they can vote in.

“Adding Ballotpedia’s nonpartisan election data will make our information product even stronger,” Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour said in the announcement.

Ballotpedia founder and CEO Leslie Graves emphasized the organization’s role in providing professionally researched election information.

“Our goal is simple: helping voters find accurate information about what’s on their ballot, wherever they look for it,” Graves said.

For Kalshi, the addition broadens the Midterms Hub’s role from an election-odds destination into a voter-information tool. Market forecasts remain the differentiator, but My Ballot gives users a reason to visit even when they have no intention of trading.
