At iVoterGuide, we exist because of the foundational belief that well-researched candidates give voters the confidence they need to make their voices heard in the voting booth. Our comprehensive research serves all voters—no matter their position on issues. Our goal is to provide only truth.
Our team of researchers and volunteers spends countless hours evaluating candidates, their financial ties, their endorsements, and the voting records of incumbent legislators because these are the primary indicators for how candidates will most likely govern. Secondarily, we evaluate their campaign website and social media, their response to our candidate questionnaire, and news and media reported about them—also important data points.
In 2025 we are researching and evaluating approximately 1,600 candidates in more than 600 races . . . and that’s in a “non-election” year (a year without federal elections)!
Of special note are the Virginia and New Jersey elections, which include statewide and state legislative candidates, the New York City mayoral election, and California redistricting—all of which are drawing nationwide media attention. Check the list below to see if we’re covering anything on your ballot for elections coming up this fall!
