Source Ledger

Keep origin, role, date, and limits visible.

Primary public sources, organization-authored materials, and educational references are not interchangeable. This ledger labels each one.

Reviewed July 31, 2026. The app teaches evergreen questions. Current rules, deadlines, notices, election information, and legal requirements must be checked through the responsible authority's current official source.
