Election Day

Checked against the Secretary of State election calendar on August 8, 2026. Full voting guide.

Who is on the November ballot comes from the Secretary of State’s certified 2026 candidate lists, checked on August 8, 2026 for the races below governor and August 8, 2026 for governor. Primary results come from the state’s own returns from August 6, 2026, frozen after the count finished. Independents qualify by petition and never appear in a primary, so a ballot built from primary results alone would miss every one of them.
