A photograph is shown only when it is linked to the same person through reviewed identity evidence; officeholder portraits are reused by person identity, never by office. Historical photographs keep their original dates. Every other candidate shows initials and “Photo unavailable”.

State-hosted Barre Ward 0 Precinct 2 sample for November 3, 2026; corroborates four Senate candidates and three governor tickets. This sample is informational, not a valid voting ballot.
Race cards picture one Democratic and one Republican nominee, at equal size, when the official general-election ballot list includes exactly one of each; they appear in the official statewide ballot order where a source publishes one, and otherwise in surname order. Other contests (no Democratic or Republican nominee, top-four registration labels, an unverified ballot listing or no verified roster) picture the first four ballot candidates by surname. Every other ballot candidate is named on the card, and this page lists everyone in the reviewed record, including write-ins and withdrawn or removed candidates. No candidate is shown or omitted on judgments of competitiveness, and the display does not predict results.
