District Maps

In general, primary elections determine party nominees for offices that will appear in the General Election. Some contests are district-based, meaning not every voter will see the same races.

The best way to be an informed voter and prepare to vote is to review your sample ballot, which shows exactly what your unique ballot will look like based on where you live.
