Election Event Polls
Coming Q2 2027For every federal election cycle, OSPO will publish a polling page per race. Verified citizens cast a single poll vote per candidate. The aggregate becomes a nationwide citizen-driven read on every race in America.
How it will work
- Every active federal race gets a page, automatically generated from FEC + state candidate filings.
- Each candidate appears on their race's page with photo, party affiliation, biographical summary, and (if applicable) their existing OSPO Approval Score from prior terms.
- Verified citizens (Tier 2+) cast one poll vote per race. Tier 3 votes appear in the headline poll; Tier 2 votes appear in the Registered Voter poll.
- Results are published per district, per state, and nationally. Cross-referenced with the official outcome after each election so you can audit how citizen polls compared to actual ballot results.
Why this matters
Cable polls cost millions to run and reach a sample of a few thousand. Election Event Polls run continuously, on every race, for the cost of running this site. The aggregate is more granular than any traditional poll because every verified citizen counts equally, regardless of which network they watch or what zip code they live in.
Just as importantly, election season is the moment when most Americans are paying attention to politics. Each cycle becomes an on-ramp: a voter looking up their local race ends up on OSPO, learns about the Aggregate Approval Score system, and either verifies their registration or upgrades to a Verified Checkmark. The polls educate while they collect data.
100% party-neutral
Every race page uses the same template, same data fields, same vote interface. Candidates from any party appear in the same format. OSPO does not weight, hide, or feature candidates by party. The aggregate is the aggregate.
When it launches
Target launch is Q2 2027, aligned with the 2027 federal election cycle. Donations and Tier 3 verification fees between now and then directly fund the build.
