Ask HN: Who is on my ballot tomorrow? (US)

3 pointsby blamarvtover 10 years ago
Tomorrow is the midterm elections, and I have no idea who I&#x27;m voting for. Not only do I have no idea who I&#x27;m voting for...but there isn&#x27;t even a convenient place to get a list of all candidates on <i>my</i> ballot. Is there?<p>Does anyone know of a site which will tell me, based on my address, who will be on the ballot tomorrow?<p>I can get this information through my state website but it&#x27;s not straight-forward (I have to look up each elected position individually!).<p>Help!

1. It&#x27;s very difficult to tell you what&#x27;s on your ballot when it&#x27;s not clear what state you are in.<p>2. <a href="http://ballotpedia.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ballotpedia.org&#x2F;</a> has a list of most of the elections, but certainly not all. For example, it&#x27;s missing one of the county-wide ballot initiatives for me.<p>3. If you are in maryland, this website may be helpful: <a href="https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/VoterSearch" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;voterservices.elections.maryland.gov&#x2F;VoterSearch</a>

I live in NJ, sometime last week I got a paper which shows exact layout of buttons there will be at election with all the names. So in theory I can practice at home pressing on buttons (I think the paper folds out to same size as the actual booth machine).<p>So it&#x27;s pretty convenient. Of course I still have to go online to look each individual&#x27;s positions, but there&#x27;s no way to present an unbiased view of each candidate, at very least you will present them in some order, and even that matters.

It&#x27;s kind of a mess, but does this page help? <a href="http://www.fec.gov/data/CandidateSummary.do" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fec.gov&#x2F;data&#x2F;CandidateSummary.do</a><p>Edit: You can find which district you&#x27;re in by putting your ZIP code in here <a href="http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.house.gov&#x2F;representatives&#x2F;find&#x2F;</a>

I don&#x27;t know what state you&#x27;re in, but google for your secretary of state&#x27;s website. They&#x27;ll usually have all the info.
