The short version

  • Each race links to a page that sets the candidates side by side, issue by issue, in their own words.
  • Everyone in the county votes for U.S. Senate and the statewide offices. The House, Public Education Commission and county commission races depend on where you live.
  • A note under each race shows which candidates have answered the Ledger's questions.

Election Day is Nov. 3. Early voting runs at every site through Oct. 31.

Below is every race for Congress, state and county office on a Bernalillo County ballot where voters have more than one candidate to choose from. Open a section, then pick a race to see where the candidates stand on each issue, from where they differ most to where they agree.

Everyone in the county votes for U.S. Senate, governor and the other statewide offices. You vote in only one U.S. House and one State House district, and you may not have a Public Education Commission or county commission race at all.
