View declared candidates for upcoming races.
The names of the candidates for each federal and state race appear first on the ballot with their party affiliation listed directly beneath their names.
In most cities/towns, local races will appear next on the ballot. In some races the names of the candidates appear on the ballot along with their party affiliation. Some races are labeled as “non-partisan” or “without party marks or designation”. In those races, the candidate’s party affiliation will not appear on the ballot.
Your ballot may also include races where more than one person is to be elected. In those races, you will see instructions such as “Vote for no more than 2” indicating that you may vote for no more than 2 candidates in that race, “Vote for no more than 3” indicating that you may vote for no more than 3 candidates in that race, and so forth.
The state constitutional amendments and questions are then listed on the ballot. In most cases, the questions start in the first column on the backside of the ballot. Where applicable, local questions follow the state constitutional amendments and questions and are printed on a yellow background. In some cases, questions will not fit on the backside of the ballot, and you will be issued an additional ballot.
