 BallotGuide ballot annotations and local election interface

BallotGuide makes local elections easier to understand through personalized, source-grounded ballot explanations. I built a RAG pipeline backed by more than 30,000 scraped legislation entries and custom 3D visualizations of local policy impacts. The team also built budget-impact predictions to make policy tradeoffs tangible. Winner at CMU TartanHacks 2026, with 279 submitted projects.

Built with: React, TypeScript, Three.js, Pinecone, RAG.
