2026 midterm election voter guides: Find local resources in your community

With the midterm elections only days off, NPR's network of member stations has assembled a state-by-state directory of voter guides and local coverage, aimed at helping people prepare before Election Day on Nov. 3. The collection spans most of the country, from Alabama and Alaska through New York, and points readers to each station's own resources.

Beyond the closely watched Senate and House contests, NPR says its reporters are tracking 36 governor's races and ballot measures dealing with abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, billionaire taxes, and other subjects. Individual entries vary in scope. Some stations offer statewide overviews, while others narrow in on a city or region, such as Maricopa County in Arizona, Denver, Tampa, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Southern Colorado. Certain listings cover narrower topics, including Kansas and Missouri judicial candidates, Michigan attorney general and Supreme Court hopefuls, and two New Hampshire ballot questions on a probate register and a school tax cap. One Ohio and Kentucky resource is offered in Spanish.

The roundup also links to related NPR stories on early voting turnout, the economy, House races to watch, Democrats' hopes in Arkansas, and Georgia voters weighing the war in Iran, rising costs, and President Trump's record.
