What is in it, and what is not
- These are community-sourced listings, each checked against a public source: a news report, a party announcement or the person’s own post. They are not an IEBC candidate list. Parties choose their candidates in primaries, and the IEBC clears the final ballot after nominations in May 2027.
- A blank party means no source has named a 2027 ticket, not that the person has none.
- Names appear as their sources give them; the same person can be spelled differently elsewhere.
- No phone numbers, emails or other private details are included, or held for anyone listed.
- Found an error? Use “Report incorrect information” on the person’s page, or contact us.
