1. It's very difficult to tell you what's on your ballot when it's not clear what state you are in.

2. http://ballotpedia.org/ has a list of most of the elections, but certainly not all. For example, it's missing one of the county-wide ballot initiatives for me.

3. If you are in maryland, this website may be helpful: https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/VoterSearch

Thanks for the links. While I did ask about myself, I was also hoping to find a general information resource I could point friends and family to which was easy to use. So far I haven't seen anything but http://ballotpedia.org is promising!

Also, your second link for MD specifically does give me a sample ballot PDF customized to my legislative and congressional districts but I'd have to copy/paste all of the candidate names to do research on them.

Thanks again.
