One minute a day.
A country's worth of answers.
Daily Ballot runs on a simple daily rhythm — the same four beats, every day.
The ballot is written
Our editorial process turns the day's news into thirty to forty clear yes-or-no ballots — each one framed to be answerable in good faith from either side, with sourcing drawn from across the spectrum.
You vote — one tap
Yay or Nay. That's the whole interface. No comment wars to win, no feed to perform for, no algorithm deciding what you see. Sign in with Apple, tap once, done.
The country answers
Watch the split move in real time as votes come in from every state. Results are always shown in aggregate — thousands of voices, one honest bar.
The verdict joins the record
When a ballot closes, its result is final and archived. Day by day, the record becomes something rare: a running, readable history of what America actually thought.
Fair questions
Is my vote public?
No. Your individual vote is never displayed to anyone. Only aggregate results — the totals and percentages — are ever shown.
What data do you collect about me?
Pretty much nothing — by design. When you sign up with Apple, we don't ask for your name or your email, so Apple never sends them. All we get is an anonymous identifier attached to your account. No name, no email, no phone number, no age, no location. Your account is that identifier and what you do in the app — your votes, likes, and saves. Nothing else.
Who writes the questions?
Ballots come from Daily Ballot's editorial process: drawn from the day's news, sourced across the political spectrum, and reviewed for fairness, accuracy, and framing before publication. Users don't post content — every ballot is ours, so every ballot is accountable.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Daily Ballot is free on the App Store, available in the United States.
