The Lucy Burns Institute sponsors three website projects: WikiFOIA, Ballotpedia and Judgepedia. The goal of each project is to help readers find useful information about state sunshine laws, ballot measures and judges.

We believe in the power of information to transform lives and politics, and we’re committed to making the most knowledge available to the greatest number of people. With the help of volunteer editors the quality and depth of the information on our wikis improves every day. We are a community of users dedicated to fairness and openness in politics, on both sides of the aisle. We welcome responsible, knowledge-building contributions from anyone who wants to participate.

The Lucy Burns Institute is non-profit and non-partisan, and was founded in December 2006. We’re based in Madison, Wisconsin.
