Neutrality statement

This platform does not endorse or oppose any candidate, party, or position. Candidate information is drawn from public sworn affidavits and presented with the same fields and sourcing standard for every candidate in a ward. Ward issues reflect resident input gathered by local curators, not the platform's own views. Errors can be flagged by any reader and are corrected transparently, with a public audit trail.
