A street address is needed because legislative districts can split a ZIP code, even a street. City or ZIP alone isn’t precise enough.
Your address is sent only to the U.S. Census Bureau’s public geocoder to find your districts. It is never stored, logged, or shared by this site.
About this tool
This is an independent, volunteer-built, nonpartisan lookup for Pennsylvania’s November 3, 2026 general election. It exists to answer one question: who is on my ballot, and where do they stand?
Where the information comes from
- Who’s on your ballot: the Pennsylvania Department of State’s official candidate listing. Every certified candidate appears, listed identically.
- Your districts: the U.S. Census Bureau’s public geocoder. Your address is sent only there, and is never stored or logged by this site.
- Issue positions: each candidate’s own campaign materials, voting records, and public statements — every entry carries a link to its source and the date of the statement or record.
How positions are researched and verified
Positions are researched with AI assistance (Claude research agents with web search) under fixed neutrality rules, and a sample of every research batch is re-checked by a person against the cited sources. No entry is published without a source link, so you can check any summary yourself. The date shown on a source is the date of the statement or record, not the date this project last checked it; the “positions last reviewed” date under your results is the last full review pass.

How position summaries are written
- Summaries paraphrase what the candidate has said or done, in neutral wording, with no evaluation or characterization.
- Nothing is ever inferred from a candidate’s party. If a position can’t be verified from the candidate’s own record, the table says “No public position on file” — that means unverified, not that the candidate has no view.
- Every race is compared on the same fixed set of seven issues, and every candidate in a race gets the same research effort.
