United States: the 3 November 2026 midterm elections followed state by state
Published
The United States holds its midterm elections on 3 November 2026. The vote takes place two years after the presidential election, at the midpoint of the sitting president's term. American voters elect the members of the House of Representatives, which has 435 seats, as well as some of the senators.
The House of Representatives is renewed in full every two years. Each state is divided into constituencies, and each of them elects one representative. The Senate, for its part, is renewed by thirds. These elections are often seen as a popularity test for those in power, even though the final result depends on many local factors.
Results are published live by RFI, state by state. Readers can thus follow the progress of the count for the House of Representatives and for the Senate seats. Official results can take several hours, sometimes several days, before being confirmed in certain states.
These elections also matter to the French, because decisions taken in Washington influence the global economy, diplomatic relations and security issues. To follow the results, it is enough to consult the interactive map published by RFI throughout the evening and the days that follow.
