The 2026 United States elections are scheduled to be held, in large part, on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. In this U.S. midterm election, which will occur during Republican President Donald Trump's non-consecutive second term, all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate will be contested to determine the 120th United States Congress. Thirty-nine state and territorial U.S. gubernatorial elections, as well as numerous state and local elections, will also be contested.
35 seats will be up for election, including 33 Class 2 seats. Special elections will be held to fill any vacancies that arise during the 119th Congress.
All 435 voting seats in the United States House of Representatives will be up for election; additionally, elections will be held to select the delegate for the District of Columbia as well as the delegates from 4 of the 5 U.S. territories, excluding Puerto Rico. Preliminary calculations show at least 11 Democrats in seats Donald Trump won, while only two or three Republicans are in seats won by Harris.[1] Ohio will have new congressional districts this cycle.[2]
On October 1, 2024, Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva announced that he would not run for re-election in the 2026 election.[3] Grijalva was already expected to win re-election in the 2024 cycle when the announcement was made, as his seat represents a heavily Democratic voter base.
On October 28, 2024, it was reported that Tennessee Rep. John Rose was expected to announce a run for Governor of Tennessee during this election cycle.[4]
Elections will be held for the governorships of 36 U.S. states and three insular areas. As most governors serve four-year terms, the last regularly scheduled elections for most seats up for election in 2026 were held in 2022. The governors of New Hampshire and Vermont each serve two-year terms, and the incumbents in these two states were elected and re-elected, respectively, in 2024.
