View the official statewide candidate 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 8 active printed candidates or tickets across all 3 statewide candidate contests. No named statewide write-in candidate is listed as of October 1, but the write-in filing deadline remains open.

Campaign records

What did candidates report?

Compare seven exact MDCRIS Pre-General 1 report summaries. Cathy White's committee filed an ALCE threshold affidavit, which is explained separately without invented totals. No FEC statewide comparison applies.

Voting information

When and how do I vote?

View registration, same-day registration, early voting, mail-in ballot, voter identification, and Election Day rules.

How to read the money: Seven cards reproduce the official report's total-to-date and this-period transaction totals, ending cash, and outstanding obligations. One ALCE affidavit states a threshold instead of exact financial totals. Missing data is never treated as $0.
