This board goes live when the first polls close, 6:00 PM Eastern in Indiana and Kentucky. Until then it is counting down, and you can take the board for a run below.
Counted from our own 2026 office inventory, the same one behind the ballot lookup, so these numbers and that tool can never drift apart.
That is 6,645 federal and state contests before a single county commissioner, judge, school board or ballot question is counted. 2 of the Senate seats are specials. Eleven of the ninety-nine legislative chambers hold no regular election this cycle.
Decision Desk HQ has not yet published its race documents for November 3, so no count can be shown here. The moment it does, this board carries them.
Eastern time. A state spanning two time zones closes in two waves and appears twice. No count exists anywhere before its own polls shut, and this board holds every reading until they do.
