How to remove yourself from ballotpedia.org
Biographical pages on candidates, elected officials, and ballot measures — built from public campaign-finance/election records, self-submitted "Candidate Connection" survey answers, and editorial research. Personal info is typically limited to public-official/candidate context.

Removing yourself, step by step
- 01
If you submitted a "Candidate Connection" survey and want it edited/removed, follow the process at https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia:Our_approach_to_Candidate_Connection_survey_edit_and_removal_requests.
- 02
For factual corrections or removal requests on your biography page more broadly, email editor@ballotpedia.org with specifics.
- 03
Understand that as a public candidate/official, full page deletion is unlikely to be granted — Ballotpedia's deletion policy reserves deletion for spam, copyright violations, or uncorrectable vandalism, not for privacy preference alone.
