See live results from the 2026 US midterm elections
Follow the results of the 2026 US midterm elections and who controls the House and Senate, updated as races are called.
As the US midterm elections unfold, millions of voters have already cast their ballots, with the outcomes in both the Senate and the House of Representatives hanging in the balance. The first polls on the east coast are set to close around 7pm EST (11am AEDT), and the Associated Press will be the first to start reporting results.
The stakes are high: Democrats require 218 seats in the House – a figure they are virtually guaranteed to achieve – and a net gain of four Senate seats (bringing their total to 51). Watch closely as the first Senate results emerge from New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio.
