Candidate names and ballot structure are grounded in official election materials. Match results use public candidate statements and reporting, with uncertainty shown rather than filled by assumption.

How matching works
For each candidate with sufficient public evidence, the guide records issue tags supported by documented positions. Alignment equals the number of selected priorities matched divided by the number selected. Evidence strength is assessed separately on a five-point scale. Missing positions never count as agreement.
This first release intentionally limits matching to candidates whose records were reviewed deeply enough to support a defensible comparison. All official ballot names remain visible in the explorer.
Known limits
The guide is informational and independent. It is not an official ballot, polling place, endorsement organization, or substitute for the instructions printed on your ballot. Candidate statements may change. Last evidence review: August 2, 2026.
