Public Policy Index
From Ballotpedia
For information about public policy issues in the 2016 elections, see: Public policy in the 2016 elections!
The Public Policy Project on Ballotpedia aims to illuminate major policy issues being discussed and implemented throughout the United States. Public policy can be complex and controversial; deciding what works best and how to allocate resources to achieve a policy goal can involve multiple trade-offs. Our coverage is nonpartisan and comprehensive, written in clear language for the non-specialist.
Policy decisions matter because they affect citizens economically, legally and socially. Our mission is to help readers discover and learn useful information, so they can participate in public policy discussions and vote for candidates and initiatives aligned with their values and interests.
This index contains all the major articles in each policy area we cover, including links to the 50 state pages we have on any given subject.
