What offices
can I run for?
Start with your address. We will identify the office records and public bodies in your jurisdiction, publish federal constitutional minimums, and route every uncertain requirement to the responsible election authority.
Separate eligibility from filing
Being eligible, becoming a candidate, and qualifying for a ballot are not the same event.
Follow the official source
We leave fees and deadlines blank until a responsible authority publishes them.
Why this does not output a magic number
“You can run for 17 offices” would be easy—and often wrong.
Selection method, residency periods, term timing, profession-specific qualifications, vacancies, and filing windows vary by controlling law. Election.org shows verified office records and explicit unknowns instead.

Important distinctions
Before you rely on the result.
Can an address prove I am eligible to run for office?
No. An address can identify jurisdictions and district records. Eligibility may also depend on age, citizenship, residency duration, voter registration, professional credentials, disqualifications, and current law.
Does an FEC filing put someone on the ballot?
No. The FEC administers federal campaign-finance registration and reporting. State election authorities administer ballot access for federal candidates.
Where are filing deadlines and fees?
Election.org links the responsible state or local election authority. Exact deadlines, fees, petitions, and forms are shown only after an official source is normalized.
