A balanced guide to the 2026 Bay Area elections
This voter guide highlights candidates who reflect common ground values — pragmatic, community-focused, and moderate in their approach. Our goal is impact: where multiple candidates share our values, we recommend the one most likely to win, so our community's support translates into real change.
Search for your ballot by entering your address. Recommended candidates will be clearly marked. In some races, we do not issue a recommendation. Voters are encouraged to decide based on their own judgment.
The primary elections are now over, and we are preparing for the November general elections. Please sign up below to get updates when new recommendations are available.
We'll notify you when new recommendations are available for the November general elections.
