| Desc | Voter's Edge, MapLight's online election guide, provides voters with the nonpartisan information they need to vote with confidence. For the 2016 elections, MapLight expanded our successful California pilot to Illinois and New York, providing more than one in five Americans with meaningful information on every race on their individual ballots, down to the local level, in time for the primaries in each state. We also made significant improvements to the usability and accessibility of the site, including the addition of a professionally translated Spanish-language site and a feature called "My List" that lets users save their ballot choices for later, as well as offering co-branded subdomains for media outlets and other partners to increase distribution. Voter's Edge was used by over half a million people during the 2016 primaries. 91% of users responding to our site survey indicated that the site was useful to them, 83% reported more confidence in their voting choices, and 73% said they would vote for more offices and leave fewer blank choices on their ballots because of information they found on Voter's Edge. | Desc |

| Desc | MapLight reveals money's influence on politics. Our groundbreaking transparency website combines campaign contribution data with how every legislator votes on every bill, providing citizens and journalists with the transparency tools to hold politicians accountable. Since 2009, our findings illustrating the impact of political money on the issues affecting citizens everyday lives have reached over 350 million people through TV, radio, magazines, newspapers, blogs, and other websites. In the last year, our data was central to a number of groundbreaking stories, including exposs on prescription drug prices, President Obamas Clean Power Plan, NFL safety issues, gun control, the Paris climate talks, soda taxes, and more. We launched Dark Money Watch, an innovative website to promote media coverage and raise public awareness of dark money in U.S. elections. We teamed up with Iowa Pays the Price, a bipartisan grassroots advocacy effort, to bring the need for money and politics reform home to Iowans in time for the 2016 caucus, providing custom research on money in politics affects everyday Iowans. We also partnered with the California Secretary of State to create Power Search, a new search tool making it easier than ever for the public to get a clear picture of the campaign contributions and independent expenditures behind California elections. | Desc |
