AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Illinois on Election Day
On Tuesday, Connecticut will be voting for leaders in federal, state, and local offices. The Associated Press (AP) will monitor key races and provide vote results, declaring winners when there is no chance for a trailing candidate to overtake. In the 2022 U.S. Senate race, about 1.3 million votes were cast, with roughly 12% coming from early or absentee ballots.
The state conducts elections at the town and city level, with 169 separate jurisdictions handling local elections, each with unique result reporting methods. The AP will declare a winner when it's determined no other candidate can close the gap. Recounts are automatic if the margin is less than 0.5% of total votes but do not exceed 2,000 votes.
In races with margins under 20 votes or a tie, a runoff election may be held. Follow AP's election coverage at https://apnews.com/projects/elections-2026.
