Between elections

Election Day is one day. Baltimore makes decisions every week.

City boards vote on what gets built, licensed and approved in your neighborhood, often with only a handful of residents in the room. After Vote helps you stay involved after you vote.

  • Know what's coming. Every Monday, the hearings that affect Baltimore neighborhoods.
  • Understand it. Each case and each board, in plain language.
  • Weigh in. Help writing testimony, and a direct path to the board.

        About After Vote

        Built so residents keep showing up after Election Day

        Most of the decisions that change a neighborhood aren't on the ballot. A corner store applies for a liquor license. A builder asks to go taller than zoning allows. A city contract goes up for a vote. Each one comes before a public board, and residents can weigh in. Most people never find out in time.

        After Vote closes that gap. Every Monday it lists the hearings coming up at seven city and state bodies, explains each case in plain language, and helps you write testimony you can send yourself.

        • Free for every resident. The weekly email, the board guides and testimony help cost nothing.
        • Nonpartisan. We never tell you what position to take, and we never share your email with campaigns or parties.
        • You stay in charge. After Vote never speaks or submits for you. You review every word and send it yourself.
        • Run by Charm City Impact Lab, an independent Baltimore group focused on civic education and community engagement.
