Maybe you’ve already voted, or maybe you’re waiting to cast your ballot on Election Day. Either way, most of us aren’t just voting for Kamala Harris or Donald Trump but on a whole range of races—so we wouldn’t blame you if you’re still researching all the congressional and local candidates on your ballot this November.
If you’re looking for a cheat sheet for any of the races your ballot asks you to weigh in on, guides.vote has nonpartisan guides for the ongoing local and national elections. Produced by veteran journalists (who know how to fact-check … and bring their receipts), the guides break down this years’ candidates and their track records, in their own words, on issues like abortion, criminal justice, climate, DEI and more.
Guides.vote has presidential guides in English and Spanish, as well as a VP guide on Tim Walz and JD Vance’s policy positions.
The website also has a national congressional guide and guides for Senate races, including the battleground states that will determine the balance of the Senate: Arizona, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin. There are also guides for major governor, state supreme court and state legislative races.
Each guide gives you the option to view the page as a PDF, which can be printed and fit on one page for easy in-person distribution—and guides.vote will even cover the cost of printing their candidate guides as one-page sheets to hand out while tabling or canvassing. (Request them here.)
The website also has a 2024 presidential interactive quiz where users can check to see which candidate aligns most closely with their own views.
At Ms. magazine, our mission is to deliver facts about the feminist movement (and those who stand in its way) and foster informed discussions—not to tell you who to vote for or what to think. We believe in empowering our readers to form their own opinions based on reliable reporting. To continue providing you with independent feminist journalism, we rely on the generous support of our readers. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today if you value the work we do and want to see it continue. Thank you for supporting women’s voices and rights.
