Can I search for elections using just a city name?

For the highest accuracy, BallotReady tools like `list_elections` require a specific physical address (Street, City, State, ZIP). This ensures the agent returns the exact ballot measures and candidates for that specific location.

Does this integration provide information for international elections?

Currently, BallotReady focuses exclusively on comprehensive civic data within the United States, including local, state, and federal contests.

Can the agent tell me who my current representatives are?

Yes. Use the `get_officeholders` tool by providing a district ID (retrieved via `list_districts` for an address) to see a list of current leaders representing that area.
