Election Watch

A neutral, factual look at the 2026 U.S. elections. This is not a horse-race tracker — there are no ratings, no win-probabilities, and no predictions. It states what is on the ballot and surfaces races only by neutral factual signals (open seat, contested primary, money raised). Coverage is honest: where 2026 candidate or finance data is not loaded yet, we say so.

What's on the ballot in 2026

435 U.S. House seats All seats — every 2 years
33 U.S. Senate seats The Senate class regularly up
36 Governorships States electing a governor

In 2026, all 435 U.S. House seats are on the ballot, 33 U.S. Senate seats (the regular class), and 36 governorships. These are the fixed constitutional/statutory election schedule, independent of any prediction.

Notable races

Surfaced by neutral factual signals only — Open seat (no incumbent is running, per FEC), Contested primary (two or more candidates share a party), and High fundraising (among the most money raised this cycle). Not a judgment of importance or a forecast.

Data: FEC

Coverage: partial — 2533 federal candidates across 474 races on file from FEC (some states/districts still loading). Governorship candidate finance is federal-only, so state races are not yet included.
