Your first visit, in five steps

Step 1 · Know your ballot (5 minutes)

Know the seat before the speeches.

What each office actually does, then find your race: President is everyone’s ballot; your Council seat is your chapter’s precinct.

Step 2 · Compare your candidates (the heart of it)

Don’t take our word for it — here’s theirs.

The Guided Candidate Comparison walks you through it in three steps:

1. Pick the candidates on your ballot (search by name, browse by letter, or open your agency).
2. Read what each one said on the record.
3. Mark your private take as you go — 👍 😐 👎 ❓, Yes / Partly / Evaded, and notes.

Help appears right where you need it — the five lenses open in brief under every answer.

Step 3 · See your Ballot Notes

The meeting doesn’t vote. You do.

Star ☆ the candidates you’re leaning toward, and My Ballot Notes gathers every mark you made onto one page — print it or save it as a PDF and take it with you to vote. Not our opinion — yours, organized.

Step 4 · Plan your vote (5 minutes)

Ready is a decision you make.

Dates, deadlines, early voting, and Navajo Election Administration contacts — Primary is Tuesday, July 21.

Step 5 · Go deeper (optional, anytime)

Knowledge is the first medicine.

Entirely optional — the comparison never requires homework. When you want background: The Five Lenses, Did They Answer the Question?, The Threads, and the full Civic Education library.

Doing our part

The honest map

When the people don’t learn how things work, don’t get involved, and don’t know how to hold leadership accountable — the problems we live with are the result. Not blame: cause and effect. And it runs the other way too: a people who learn, ask, evaluate, and show up are how a better tomorrow actually arrives. Leaders can’t do it alone — that part is ours.
