I'm in the Voting State of Mind
Election Day is Every Tuesday: June 22-28, 2026
Primaries matter just as much as general elections. And if you’re in Maryland, New York, or Utah, your primaries are TUESDAY! Early voting is continuing in NY through Sunday, so you don’t have to wait till Tues if you’re an NY voter.
Other elections include municipal special elections in Connecticut and Florida, with the Texas one on Saturday, as usual.
Finally, South Carolina has runoffs on Tuesday, and Louisiana’s are on Saturday.
A reminder that this guide is not complete. Before my team covers an election, I check if anyone from that district is in my voting group, and if not, we only include the most basic info in the guide.
I do this so that I make sure that the members of the voting group have their elections covered in full, so if you want to make sure your next election is covered, please join.
Also, I’m currently doing a contest where if you send me a screenshot proving you joined, your name will get added to a raffle. If you win, you will get a 1:1 session with me to help you go over your next ballot.
So please join! I wanna make sure voting is as easy as possible for all of you reading this!
Now, with that out of the way, let’s get to this week’s guide!
