BallotWatch

PRIMARY SEASON · 2026 ELECTION CYCLE

Election coverage that keeps up with you. From the U.S. Senate to your school board — every race, every candidate, on one ballot you build yourself.

Every Race. Every Candidate. One Place.

Most voters know the top three names on their ballot and stop there. BallotWatch changes that. Enter your address and see every race you'll actually vote on — from U.S. Senate to school board. Research the candidates, compare their positions, mark your picks, and carry a personalized ballot to the polls. No more guessing in the voting booth.
