Kura254 exists to make election information easier to inspect. These standards guide how records, claims, sponsorship, and analysis should be presented.

Funding without influence
Payment never changes candidate ordering, profile inclusion, verification labels, corrections or election results. Sponsorship is labelled and displayed separately from editorial records. Core records and basic downloads remain free.
Standard 03
Clear labelling
Sponsored material, candidate-submitted claims, editorial analysis, and verified records must be distinguishable to readers.
Standard 04
Right of reply
Candidates and affected parties can request corrections or provide source material for review.
Standard 05
No hidden endorsements
Coverage, profile presence, and editorial framing should not imply endorsement unless explicitly labelled as opinion.
Standard 06
Source discipline
Claims about records, offices, results, polls, and public conduct should be backed by inspectable source material where possible.
