Proposition Campaign Websites

A proposition or ballot measure website gives voters a clear place to understand the issue, review supporting information, and decide how they will vote.

Online Candidate provides website options for ballot initiatives, referendums, bond measures, levies, constitutional amendments, recalls, and other issue-based campaigns.

Your campaign can explain the measure in plain language, answer common questions, publish endorsements, accept contributions, recruit volunteers, and share campaign updates from one central website.

Build and manage the site yourself or choose a package that includes custom design and initial content setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a ballot measure campaign website include?

The website should clearly identify the measure, explain what it would do, state whether the campaign supports or opposes it, and tell voters when and how to vote.

Common pages include About the Measure, Why Vote Yes or No, Frequently Asked Questions, Endorsements, News, Events, Volunteer, Donate, Resources, and Contact.

How should we explain a complicated proposition?

Start with a short, plain-language summary that tells voters what the measure changes and why the campaign supports or opposes it. More detailed information, source documents, fiscal material, and legal text can appear on separate pages for visitors who want to review them.

Avoid relying only on the official ballot language, which may not answer the practical questions voters have.

Can the website support a “Yes” or “No” campaign?

Yes. The website design, domain, headlines, calls to action, and page structure can be built around either a “Vote Yes” or “Vote No” campaign.

The measure number or name should appear consistently so voters can quickly recognize the campaign.

How can the website help build a coalition?

Use endorsement pages and signup forms to collect support from community organizations, elected officials, businesses, professional groups, unions, neighborhood leaders, and individual voters.

The site can also give coalition members a reliable link to share through email, social media, meetings, and printed materials.

What supporting material can we publish?

You can add reports, studies, fact sheets, financial information, official measure language, meeting documents, downloadable graphics, videos, and links to outside sources.

Organize the material so voters can understand the basic case without having to read every document.

Can several members of our campaign organization help manage the website?

The campaign can designate the people responsible for website content and updates. This is useful for committees and coalitions where messaging, endorsements, events, and campaign news may come from several participants.

Can we accept contributions through the website?

Yes. Online Candidate integrates with Anedot, Raise the Money, ActBlue, WinRed and other fundraising services. Contributions go through the organization’s selected provider, and Online Candidate does not charge an additional transaction fee.

The campaign is responsible for supplying any required contribution notices and disclosure language.

Can the site be used for local and statewide ballot measures?

Yes. The platform can support local school or municipal measures, county referendums, statewide propositions, constitutional amendments, and other issue-based campaigns.

The website content and navigation can be adjusted to match the size, complexity, and geographic reach of the campaign.

What happens to the website after Election Day?

The site can remain online as a public record of the campaign, be updated with the result, or be taken offline when it is no longer needed. Organizations continuing their advocacy work may also want to move to a longer-term website solution.
