What we have

Where we couldn’t find an official source, we say so instead of guessing.

Statewide

  • Federal racesPartial

    U.S. Senate and all four U.S. House districts are listed from the Secretary of State's Candidate Qualifying List, which is updated once daily and is not marked certified. The State Board of Election Commissioners determines whether each candidate meets the qualifications before the name is placed on the General Election ballot.

  • Statewide officesNot on this ballot

    No statewide executive office is on the November 3, 2026 ballot. The Secretary of State's sample ballot is titled Federal and Judicial Election.

  • State legislaturePartial

    State Senate and State House races are not listed in this statewide file. The Secretary of State's Candidate Qualifying List shows candidates for State Senate 34 and for State House Districts 70 and 77 (Special Election). Use that list for legislative races.

  • Ballot questionsPartial

    The Secretary of State's November 3, 2026 sample ballot shows no statewide measures. The Secretary of State's initiatives list shows six initiatives marked Active and one marked Filed, and none is marked as on this ballot. This is not confirmed by an official ballot list; check with the Secretary of State before relying on it.

Separate from your ballot

Vugol Pulse is not a vote. It’s our daily, unofficial thumbs-up/down question. Anyone can answer, it doesn’t register a vote, and its results never appear on this page or in our poll averages.

The four Vugol signals, side by side

They answer different questions and are kept apart. Full method: Methodology.

Vugol Vector
Our call for every race as if the vote were held today. A snapshot, not a win probability or a vote share.
Vugol Tensor
How sure we are: ranges and chamber-control odds around the Vector, built from past polling error. An experiment about uncertainty, not a better guess.
Vugol Attention
How much news and online noise a race gets, 0 to 100. It measures noise, not support: a high score says nothing about who is ahead.
Vugol Pulse
Our daily thumbs-up or thumbs-down question for readers. Anyone can answer, so it describes our readers, not the public. It is not a vote and never enters a poll average or any other signal.

    No statewide court is on the November 3, 2026 ballot. The Secretary of State's 2026 calendar says the regularly scheduled Mississippi Supreme Court election is enjoined due to a federal court order.

  • Dates and deadlinesPartial

    Dates come from the Secretary of State's 2026 Elections Calendar, which says it is provided for planning purposes only and dates are subject to change. The calendar and the absentee voting page give different start dates for in-person absentee voting. The calendar says September 21, 2026 ('Earliest day to vote by an absentee ballot in the Circuit Clerk's Office in the General Election'); the absentee voting page says 'beginning September 19, 2026.' Both dates are stated in the facts above, each with its own source.
