Offering a new, user-friendly Sample Ballot Lookup Tool and our view of the most compelling and competitive races to follow
Middleton, Wis. - March 4, 2024: Over 135 million Americans will have an opportunity to vote tomorrow, March 5 - aka “Super Tuesday” - and Ballotpedia is here to help. Our Sample Ballot Lookup Tool is designed to make it easier for voters to get information before heading to the polls – helping them get the information they need to form their own opinion and vote with confidence.
While Presidential races garner a lot of attention on Super Tuesdays, states across the country are also holding primaries for U.S. congress, state legislatures, statewide executive offices, and statewide courts, making for a big day down the ballot.
“These races offer unique insights on the national political landscape. While much attention rests on the presidential primaries, there’s plenty of intrigue when you zoom down into the more local races,” said Ballotpedia’s Editor in Chief Geoff Pallay. “Down the ballot, the congressional primaries we‘re watching, for example, give us a window into the issues and forces shaping, and in some cases dividing, the major political parties.”
Here are the races that our team has picked as the most important, compelling, and competitive in the country. The links below will take you directly to our in-depth coverage of those contests:
Alabama
1st Congressional District Republican primary
2nd Congressional District Democratic primary
Arkansas
3rd Congressional District Republican primary
