About Simplify 2026

An easy way to understand what's happening in your midterm elections.

What this is

Simplify 2026 breaks down the candidates, races, and ballot questions on your midterm ballot in simple, straightforward terms. Select your state and see who's running and what you're actually voting on.

Bipartisan, facts only

This site doesn't endorse candidates or take a side. Every summary is written to describe what a candidate or measure would do, not whether you should support it. If a description ever reads as one-sided, that's a bug; not the intent.

Sources cited

Information is pulled from public records, Ballotpedia, and official state election websites. We link back to sources where we can, and you should always double-check anything important with your state's official election site before you vote.
