Notes on the official list

• We found no separate certified candidate list on the Secretary of State's elections pages. This file uses the Secretary of State's published sample of the official November 3, 2026 ballot (its file name dates it September 9, 2026), checked against the Secretary of State's candidate qualifying list. Neither document uses the word certified, so certified is false.
• Party labels follow the ballot, which prints "Democrat"; the qualifying list prints "Democratic" for the same candidates.
