Good to know
- Why your address matters
- Your ballot depends on your registered residential address and voting districts. ZIP code alone may not identify your exact ballot.
- Candidate vs. elected official
- A candidate is someone running for office. An elected official is someone currently serving in office.
- Ballot measure
- A ballot measure is a proposal that voters decide directly.
- Can't find your sample ballot?
- Sample ballots may become available closer to an election. If you cannot find yours, contact your election office.
Find your state or territory's election office
Covers all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and the five inhabited U.S. territories. Your choice isn't saved.
Voting rules differ by place
Who can vote, and in which elections, depends on where you live. Your election office has the rules for your area.
For example, U.S. citizens who live in a U.S. territory cannot vote for president in the general election.
We never ask for your personal details
This site doesn't ask for or store your address, date of birth, voter ID number, party, or how you vote. Enter that information only on your official election office's website.
My Elected Officials
These are the people serving in office now. That's different from candidates, who are running in an upcoming election.
