How to interpret this record
2026 California District 3 U.S. House Election: Polls, Candidates, Money & Dates
A ballot brings together several decisions that share an election date but may follow different rules. The office, jurisdiction and stage of the election tell you what each choice means.
Start with the office and the place
An election record describes a particular office or question in a particular jurisdiction. A statewide contest is different from a congressional district, a city council seat or a school district. An address can help connect those boundaries, but a ZIP code alone is not a guarantee of one exact ballot. Use the election authority’s own ballot lookup to confirm the final choices for a voter.
Separate a filing from a ballot appearance
A campaign-finance filing tells you that a financial record exists. It does not, by itself, establish that the person qualified for the November ballot. A primary participant, withdrawn candidate and certified general-election candidate can all leave public records. Read the election stage and the source label before treating a directory as a current candidate list. Registered write-in candidates are a separate category whose rules depend on the jurisdiction.

FEC filing history (6 filing groups; 6 IDs)
This archive includes primary candidates and other filers. Inclusion here does not establish a November ballot place. Reported financial activity first, then names alphabetically; reviewed duplicate committee summaries are counted once.

POLLING · SURVEYS, NOT PREDICTIONS
0 survey recordsWhat do the polls say?
Individual surveys of 2026 contests, including earlier cycle history from 2025. Matchups and populations stay separate; older or hypothetical matchups do not establish who is on the current ballot.
No recent polls availableNo matched surveys in the connected feed. This does not mean support is zero or that no poll exists elsewhere.
Polling compilation: VoteHub · CC BY 4.0. Electionpedia normalizes dates, matches races, and visualizes reported results; it does not estimate outcomes. Original survey links are attached to each report.

Published election schedule
Election dates
The FEC publishes this calendar but does not administer elections. State and local election officials determine ballot access, voting methods, and official candidate lists.
Sources and filing coverage
FILING RECORDS
Not the certified ballot.
Seat identity and the election schedule are verified separately from FEC filings. A filing does not establish ballot qualification.
How to use this race page
November candidate names come from the official general-election sources linked beside each person. Registered write-ins have their own list. FEC filing history preserves earlier primary and other campaign records; filing or fundraising alone does not establish November eligibility. Confirm your full local sample ballot with the election authority.
