Description

The 2026 midterm elections will determine who holds office in the 120^th Congress beginning in January 2027. All 435 seats for voting members of the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 Senate seats will be on ballot.

In the Senate, 33 seats are in regular cycle and two are special elections to fill the unexpired terms left by vacancies when former Senators J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) became vice president and secretary of state, respectively.
