The candidate roster and each candidate’s official status remain key parts of the election process to watch before the general election. Voters can also look for campaign-finance figures, candidate biographies and documented issue positions as the race develops. Until a candidate records a policy position, the candidate’s party label should not be treated as a substitute for a stated view on a specific issue.

What to watch

  • Changes to the official candidate roster
  • Newly recorded candidate policy positions
  • Campaign fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand figures
  • Updates to candidate biographies
