View the official statewide roster

The official candidate names appear first. Campaign finance is reported separately and is not an endorsement or prediction.

Ballot comparison

Who is running?

Review 22 approved printed candidates across all 8 statewide candidate contests, plus one approved gubernatorial write-in listed separately.

Campaign records

What did candidates report?

Compare 17 matched Idaho Sunshine summaries and two processed FEC candidate summaries. Three unavailable records carry explicit nonmatch or no-summary explanations.

Voting information

When and how do I vote?

View registration, same-day registration, early voting, absentee, voter identification, emergency absentee, and Election Day rules.

How to read the money: Idaho Sunshine profile cards preserve This Period and Election Cycle to Date amounts and each candidate's original filing window. Report PDFs separately use Year to Date. The transaction explorer covers a bounded 2026 source-date snapshot, not the same cumulative totals. FEC cards remain separate. Missing data never means $0.
