2026 Midterm Election Day: Tuesday, November 3, 2026
The 2026 United States elections, scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026, will play a pivotal role in determining the political landscape of the country for the second half of the presidential term. These midterm elections are critical for shaping the makeup of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and numerous state and local offices. They will influence the legislative agenda and serve as a barometer for the nation’s priorities.
The Stakes in 2026
Control of Congress
- House of Representatives:
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives will be up for election. The outcome will determine whether the President’s party maintains its majority or faces a divided Congress, a common occurrence in midterm elections. Historically, midterms often result in the party of the sitting President losing seats, making this election a critical test for the administration. - Senate:
Approximately one-third of the Senate’s 100 seats will be contested. These elections are particularly significant because the Senate holds the power to confirm judicial nominees, approve treaties, and influence the nation’s foreign and domestic policies.
State and Local Elections
Governorships, state legislatures, and local offices will also be on the ballot, with results influencing policies on education, healthcare, climate action, and more at the state level.
