Kalshi rolls out My Ballot with Ballotpedia data ahead of the U.S. midterms

Prediction market exchange Kalshi has launched a new feature called My Ballot ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, combining verified nonpartisan sample ballot data from Ballotpedia with Kalshi’s own event prediction data. The tool lets users enter an address to see election information tied to their district, including races for Congress, governor, state legislature, and ballot measures. Kalshi said the product is meant to address a common gap in midterm voting, when turnout is typically lower than in presidential elections and many voters head to the polls without much knowledge of prior electoral records. The company is also tying the feature into its existing Race Intel tools, which include polling averages, Federal Election Commission fundraising data, and historical vote totals. According to Kalshi’s news release, more than 80% of visitors to The Midterms Hub do not place trades and instead use the platform as a day-to-day political information resource. The new feature is intended to expand that reference use during the election period.
