These race previews show candidates we’re tracking now. A ZIP code shows your statewide and congressional races; a street address adds county and city contests. Local races are address-specific. This guide previews tracked contests, while the lookup tool narrows the list to a voter’s exact address. Tap any name to see the race, full candidate profiles, and everything else on your exact ballot. Michigan nominees were set by the August 4 primary, one per party, and meet on the November 3 ballot; county commissioners and county row officers (clerk, treasurer, sheriff, prosecutor) are elected in presidential years, so no county offices appear in 2026, and judges run without party labels, per the Secretary of State.
