Documented and app-authored content

Public incorporation material describes an educational purpose related to government and electoral-reform policies. The official shared website identifies Utah Approves Education Fund separately as a 501(c)(3). Civic Method Lab's name, interface, 35-module structure, Compare Board, Claim Lens, discussion cards, and examples are app-authored educational material.

Evidence boundaryThe presence of a topic or exercise in the app does not establish that it is an existing organization program, public service, or official government curriculum.

Separate affiliated entities

The shared Utah Approves website also identifies a separate 501(c)(4) called Utah Approves. Civic Method Lab does not combine the entities' legal identities, finances, filings, lobbying, or advocacy activity. Pages from the shared site that advance a policy viewpoint are labeled Organization Perspective.

Independent status and limits

The app and this support site are not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Utah, an election office, political party, candidate, or government entity. They do not register voters, submit ballots, determine eligibility, locate polling places, reproduce a current ballot, or provide current election instructions. The content is not legal advice and does not guarantee any method or election outcome.

Accessibility approach

The Android interface supports text scaling, screen-reader descriptions for major controls and illustrations, high-contrast source categories, touch targets designed around Android guidance, and a reduced-motion preference. This site includes semantic headings, keyboard navigation, a skip link, visible focus, responsive layouts, and reduced-motion CSS.
