As the 2026 midterm elections approach, NPR member stations nationwide have compiled comprehensive voter guides and local resources to assist voters in making informed decisions at the ballot box. The resources span all 50 states and cover a wide range of races and issues relevant to voters in their communities.
The midterm elections will determine control of both the Senate and House of Representatives, while also featuring 36 gubernatorial races. Beyond federal offices, ballots will include measures addressing abortion rights, LGBTQ+ issues, billionaire taxation, and various local ballot initiatives. Major races identified for voter attention include competitive House contests and close gubernatorial matchups across the country.
NPR member stations have developed multiple types of voter information resources tailored to their communities. These include statewide voter guides that cover candidates and measures across entire states, as well as localized resources focusing on specific regions, counties, and districts. Materials address practical voting information such as where and how to vote, early voting options, and ballot access in multiple languages where applicable.
Voter guides from member stations cover substantive information about candidate positions on key issues. Resources highlight where candidates stand on topics including economic conditions, foreign policy matters, and other significant policy areas. Some stations have created interactive tools allowing voters to build personalized ballots based on their preferences and voting locations.
The breadth of resources available reflects the network’s effort to ensure comprehensive election coverage from coast to coast. Member stations across Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, and every other state have organized materials to help voters access the information they need ahead of the election on November 3.
