Who's on your 2026 Illinois ballot? Check by address

Check your ballot by address

Illinois voters do not all receive the same ballot. The offices and candidates listed for a voter depend on the voter’s address and the districts connected to it.

A sample ballot tool can help voters review that information in advance. Enter your address into the tool to see the contests associated with your registration. Voters can use the results as a guide when they prepare to vote.

Review every contest

The ballot may include more than one race. Review each contest shown for your address, including local offices and other questions that appear on the ballot.

The tool is intended to show the ballot connected to a specific location. Checking the address carefully helps voters avoid reviewing the wrong district’s ballot.

Use the tool before voting

Voters can review their sample ballot before going to vote and make note of the offices they want to consider. The sample ballot is a planning resource; the official ballot issued to a voter is completed through the election process.

NBC 5 Chicago published the sample-ballot resource for Illinois voters. Open the linked resource to begin checking which contests appear for your address.
