Photographs identify candidates and do not imply endorsement. A photograph is shown only when it is linked to the same person through reviewed identity evidence; officeholder portraits are reused by person identity, never by office. Historical photographs keep their original dates. Every other candidate shows initials and “Photo unavailable”.

Lists Susan M. Collins (R-ME) as the current Class II senator for Maine, matching the repository Congress snapshot (Bioguide C001035). Seat status compares this officeholder with the official candidate record.
Race cards picture one Democratic and one Republican nominee, at equal size, when the official general-election ballot list includes exactly one of each; they appear in the official statewide ballot order where a source publishes one, and otherwise in surname order. Other contests (no Democratic or Republican nominee, top-four registration labels, an unverified ballot listing or no verified roster) picture the first four ballot candidates by surname. Every other ballot candidate is named on the card, and this page lists everyone in the reviewed record, including write-ins and withdrawn or removed candidates. No candidate is shown or omitted on judgments of competitiveness, and the display does not predict results.
