How this guide is made

Public Questions

The official wording of each public question is copied word for word from an official county sample ballot (the statewide question reads the same on every county ballot). The plain-words summaries and the YES/NO lines are ours, and each line links to its source.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the Indiana Election Division's candidate list for the November 3, 2026 general election ↗, in the order of the official list (your ballot may list them in a different order), with names as they appear on the ballot. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.

Counties and local questions

This guide does not cover county and local races or local questions yet. Your sample ballot lists everything you will vote on.

Districts

District lines on the map come from U.S. Census Bureau files of the Indiana General Assembly's 2021 state Senate and House districts. Your sample ballot is the final word.
