This page is a research starting point, not an endorsement. Ballot Awareness is not affiliated with any candidate, party, or government body. Candidate and primary results are verified against Ballotpedia, the NBC News 2026 election results, and the Associated Press. Race ratings are editorial assessments based on public race ratings (such as the Cook Political Report) and polling, not predictions. Always verify with your official District of Columbia election information before voting.

We review and update this guide on a rolling basis, generally at least once every seven days, and more often as results are certified or candidates change. Information can still become out of date between updates, and errors are possible, so please do your own research and confirm the details on your ballot with your state or county election office.
