What This Site Is
This is an independent, non-partisan guide to Iowa's November 3rd, 2026 general election. Every race on your statewide ballot is here — Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and the five statewide directory offices.
Each race page includes a description of what the office actually does, race context, and side-by-side candidate comparisons drawn from primary sources: campaign communications, voting records, debates, and direct interviews. The Governor and U.S. Senate pages also include short voter quizzes that compare your positions to each candidate's so you know who you most align with.
No party affiliation. No advertising. No PAC funding. Just sourced information presented evenly. If you find an error or omission, the About page has contact details.
