Getting to the Bottom of the Ballot is a non-profit, nonpartisan citizen engagement organization dedicated to creating new and meaningful ways to accomplish three goals:
Getting to the Bottom of the Ballot started as a group of citizens from Southwest Minneapolis who were concerned about the perceived low participation in local political processes. Believing that the necessary tools for increasing such participation were knowledge and confidence, we set out to find new and interesting ways to help people increase what we described as "civic confidence" with regard to local concerns. As we moved forward with these goals, we found that our efforts were welcomed by friends and neighbors, and we realized that it wasn't enough to continue just in Southwest. With this in mind, we have reached out to other Minneapolis communities, and we now work throughout the city to develop programs that address issues important across the city. GetBoB, as we now call this organization, is run by a Board of Directors dedicated to our mission of building civic confidence, working with people from around Minneapolis dedicated to our non-partisan vision. Recently, we have worked with other organizations that share our vision of a politically savvy public, such as the League of Women Voters of Minneapolis, Minnesota Council of Non-Profits, Kids Voting Minneapolis, and Minneapolis Public Library. The board is lead by the current GetBoB officers: Scott
