Time to processunspecified; editorial review timeline varies

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.

Owner / network: Lucy Burns Institute (Ballotpedia)

Removing yourself, step by step

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    For factual corrections or removal requests on your biography page more broadly, email editor@ballotpedia.org with specifics.

  3. 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.

Data brokers re-list. Check again in 30–60 days.

Re-listing risk for this site: Low — pages are only recreated if the person remains publicly notable (e.g., runs again)
