Common questions

What does the ballot lookup show me?

Enter a ZIP code, or a city and state, and we match it to your state and, when the lookup returns one, your congressional or state legislative district. From there you land on a page listing the statewide races on your ballot, the district-specific races that apply to you, the full candidate lineup for each, and the election date and key deadlines.

How do I check my voter registration?

This tool does not check registration status. Your state or county election office maintains the official voter file; most states offer a free online lookup. We link to each state's election office from its ballot page so you can confirm your registration and polling place directly with the source.

What is a district, and why does it matter?

Many offices, including U.S. House seats and most state legislature seats, are elected by district rather than statewide. Two neighbors in the same state can have different U.S. House or state legislative candidates on their ballots depending on which district their address falls in. Statewide offices, like governor, U.S. Senate, and president, are the same for everyone in the state.

What should I bring to vote?

Requirements vary by state: some require photo ID, some accept other forms of identification, and some require none for most voters. Check the current rule for your state with your state or county election office before election day, since requirements can change between elections.

How current is this information?

Candidate and race data comes from public sources including OpenFEC, Open States, and Congress.gov, and is refreshed regularly. Election dates and deadlines come from state election offices. Always confirm dates and polling details with your state or county election office, which is the authoritative source.
