November 3, 2026
The 2026 general election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Every seat in the U.S. House of Representatives is on the ballot, along with U.S. Senate seats, governorships and other statewide offices in much of the country, statewide ballot measures, and thousands of county and municipal offices. The Ballot Brief already tracks 2,081 hand-curated candidates across 949 local races on 165 county guides, plus certified U.S. House fields in 168 districts.
Ballots differ street by street. A ZIP code previews your statewide and congressional races; a full street address adds the county and municipal contests that depend on district lines.
Look up your 2026 ballotTop of the ticket: your U.S. House district votes in every state, and many states also elect a U.S. senator, governor, and statewide executives such as attorney general or secretary of state. Below that come state legislative seats, statewide ballot measures where states certify them, and the county offices that shape daily life: commissioners, sheriffs, school boards, judges, and more. Our state hubs track the races we have verified from certified filings, and the ballot measures guide follows statewide questions as they qualify.
Nominees in these states are decided at primaries between now and the general election. Each link previews the primary ballot; after results are certified, the November matchups replace them.
Results from 2026 primaries are folded into these guides as states certify them, so each hub shows the November field once nominees are official. Key dates live on the election calendar.
