■ Before You Vote

You are never required to vote in every race on your ballot. If you do not recognize a candidate or have not had time to research them, leaving that race blank is a completely legitimate choice.

In a general election, you may always vote across party lines in any race — especially in local and municipal elections where party affiliation is often the least meaningful indicator of how someone will govern. See the About page for our advocacy on crossover primary ballot reform.

This tool helps you look up who is on your ballot and what they stand for, so every mark you make is one you own.

■ Federal Candidates Research — OpenFEC

Look up federal candidates (President, Senate, House) by election year using data from the Federal Election Commission. Results include all registered candidates who filed with the FEC. This is a research tool — it covers past elections as well as the current cycle.
