state elections
Provincial ballot contests
State elections are contests for offices within a U.S. state rather than federal positions—governors, state legislators, judges, and other state-level officials.
They follow each state's own rules and schedules, though many coincide with federal election cycles.
Voter turnout in state elections typically lags behind presidential years.
