Require on‑ballot endorsements

Instead of allowing candidates to write freeform labels about themselves on the ballot, official endorsements (from parties or certified organizations/officeholders) would be displayed next to names to give voters standardized, verifiable cues. The policy would require a certification process for endorsements and rules about who may appear, balancing clarity for voters with free‑speech and administrative concerns. — Changing ballot labeling reshapes how voters form impressions at the point of choice and raises legal and institutional questions about speech, election administration, and gaming of information cues.
