Short answer: You can vote for candidates who are on your local ballot in your area, and the exact options depend on your location and the election type. To determine who you can vote for, you’ll want to check your official ballot and local election information. What to do to find your eligible options

• Identify your location and election type
  • If you’re in the United States, use your state or county election website or trusted voter information sites to see who is on your ballot and what offices or measures are up for vote in your district. These sources typically provide sample ballots and candidate lists tailored to your address.

• Use official ballot resources
  • Look up your sample ballot or “What’s on my ballot” page by entering your address or ZIP code. This will show the candidates, party primaries (if applicable), and any local measures you’ll vote on.

• Consider voter guides and matching tools
  • Voter guides and issue questionnaires can help you compare candidates’ positions and decide who aligns with your views. Some tools also offer mock ballots to help you plan your choices.

• For regional contexts outside the U.S.
  • If you’re voting in Europe or the UK, there are country- or region-specific resources that help you identify electoral candidates or parties by location, and some provide issue-based matching to your views.

Important notes

• Primary and ballot access rules vary by jurisdiction (types of primaries, write-ins, etc.). Check your official election office guidance for details on who can vote in primaries and how to participate.

• Always rely on official government sites or well-established nonpartisan organizations for the most accurate and up-to-date information about who you can vote for in your specific election.
