How this page is checked

Each candidate list was read from its Ballotpedia race page on November 3, 2026, and checked against Wikipedia's 2026 race tables. Late changes (Maine, South Carolina, Idaho, Nebraska, South Dakota) were also checked against news reports, linked on those cards.

Major candidates means the Democratic and Republican nominees, the candidates advancing on Alaska's top-four ballots, and a few independent or third-party candidates who appear in public polls listed by Ballotpedia. Other candidates and write-ins may be on your ballot. Names are shown as commonly used, so your ballot may print them differently. The data is in races.json.
