Elections
Outpost informs voters. It does not endorse candidates, rank them, or tell you how to vote — and where we have no record, this page says so rather than describing one we have not built.
Checking the election record…
These are the offices that publish the answer. They are the same places we would read to build our own record, and you do not need us in the middle of it.
The authoritative list of what is on your ballot, your registration status, and your polling place. Election administration is run by the states, not by Washington, which is why there is no single national list to link.
Find your state election office (USA.gov)Who has filed to run for federal office — House, Senate, President — and what their campaigns have raised and spent. Filing is not the same as appearing on a ballot; ballot access is a state question.
Candidate filings at the FECThis is a standard rather than a screenshot of something built: ten fields, and a record that cannot fill them does not publish. It is written down here so it can be held against us when the records arrive — including the last one, which is the date a person went and looked.
Two things this page will never do, whatever ends up on it: separate factual civic data from advocacy, and rank the people in a race. A ranking is an endorsement with a number in front of it.
