Methodology

There are several methodological choices that Ballotpedia made in calculating the number of races without a Democratic or Republican candidate on this page:

  • Write-in candidates were not counted as candidates for the purpose of races without a Democratic or Republican candidate. However, if a write-in candidate advanced from a primary to a general election and became a regular candidate on the general election ballot, that candidate was counted for the purpose of races without a Democratic or Republican candidate.
  • Candidates who officially withdrew from a race were not counted as candidates for the purpose of this analysis.
  • Candidates who unofficially withdrew from a race but still appeared on the ballot were counted as candidates for the purpose of this analysis. This meant that a race did not count as a race without a Democratic or Republican candidate if an unofficially withdrawn candidate still appeared on the ballot.
  • In California and Washington state, which have top-two primary systems, a race was counted as not having a Democratic or Republican candidate if no candidate from a major party advanced from the primary election to the general election.
  • This analysis included races in states where the candidate filing deadline had not passed. However, Ballotpedia's 2024 analyses of state legislative and state executive races without a major party candidate included only elections in states whose filing deadlines had passed.
