Searching for candidates and positions

    What can the search tool do?

    • In CivicEngine, you can find candidates and positions using the search tool. If you type in the candidate’s name or the name of the position, it will appear in the results. 
      • You can use search or the Elections tab to find positions, but measures are only viewable in the Elections tab.
    • The search function...
      • Will return candidates who match on first and/or last names
      • Will return positions that match any of the individual search terms 
        • E.g. results for a search for Mississippi Representative will include all positions labeled Representative and all positions labeled Mississippi.

    How do I search?

    • You’ll see the search bar on the homepage when you log in to CivicEngine. Simply type in the candidate or position name and click Search
    • You’ll see an array of results. Select the candidate that you’re looking for.
      • Note: You can use the dropdown menu on the left to filter by state to narrow your search.
