2026 FEDERAL GENERAL ELECTIONNov 3, 2026
Regularly scheduled federal general election · sourced from the Federal Election Commission.
Permanent 2026 contest records
475 federal races, organized by state.
Start with a state, then choose the House or Senate race you need. Candidate filing records remain grouped by their official numbered district without pretending those districts have names.
Why are districts numbered?
U.S. House districts generally do not have official names. They are identified by state and number, such as Alabama District 3.
What does “at-large” mean?
The whole state or territory is one House district, so every voter there chooses from the same House race.
One hub brings together races, voting, officials, candidates, money, local governments, schools and running for office.
