US 2026 Midterm Elections Set for November 3 with Key Congressional and State Races
The 2026 US midterm elections, scheduled for November 3, will determine control of all 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats, and various state offices, including governors. These elections occur midway through President Donald Trump's second term and will influence legislative dynamics and state policies on issues like abortion and voting rules. Voter registration deadlines, ID requirements, and voting procedures vary by state, with early and absentee voting options available. The outcomes will shape Congress's composition and impact governance for the remainder of Trump's term.
