Bonus TL;DR
- Kalshi integrated Ballotpedia nonpartisan sample ballot data into its Midterms Hub to launch the new My Ballot feature.
- The tool matches user addresses with localized political contests and pairs live event contract forecasts across active election markets.
Kalshi launched a new My Ballot feature in its Midterms Hub on Oct. 15, 2026, adding Ballotpedia election data to show users the races on their ballot alongside Kalshi market forecasts where active markets exist.
The update matters because it expands the information layer around Kalshi’s election-event contracts, pairing localized ballot information with prediction market pricing. Kalshi said the feature is available on its website and mobile app and will cover every race with an active Kalshi market through Election Day.
New tool links ballot information to active Kalshi markets
According to the company, My Ballot uses Ballotpedia’s nonpartisan Sample Ballot Lookup Tool data to match a user’s address with the contests on that voter’s ballot. The feature can surface races ranging from U.S. Senate, House, and governor contests to state legislative races and statewide ballot measures.
Kalshi said the product pairs those races with its market forecasts where live markets are available. The company also said My Ballot adds to its existing Race Intel offering, which already includes data from VoteHub such as polling averages, FEC fundraising data, and past presidential results.
Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour said in a statement, “Markets are an antidote to partisan misinformation. Our election contracts create accurate forecasts that help people understand the world better. Adding Ballotpedia’s nonpartisan ballot information will make our product even stronger.”
Ballotpedia partnership broadens Midterms Hub data
Kalshi said more than 80% of visitors to its Midterms Hub do not trade, a figure that helps explain the push toward more voter-information tools inside the product.
Ballotpedia founder and CEO Leslie Graves said the organization has spent nearly two decades providing “verified, nonpartisan information on politics, policy, and elections.” She added that Ballotpedia’s content is “researched and maintained by professional editorial staff.”
Ballotpedia, founded in 2007, says it offers more than 750,000 free articles. Kalshi, founded in 2018, describes itself as a regulated exchange for event contracts.
What comes next is straightforward: Kalshi said My Ballot is already live on web and mobile, and the feature is expected to remain available through the 2026 Election Day period for every race where the exchange has an active market.
