How to Vote in the 2026 Elections in Your State

Find your state’s voting resources


The 2026 midterm elections are approaching, and voters across the nation will decide on U.S. representatives and senators, along with many statewide and local offices.  

You can find detailed information about how to vote in your state, what new laws (if any) affect voting in 2026 elections and when key deadlines are by using the map above. Click on your state and it will direct you to your state government’s source of election information. 

The state sites provide key information you’ll need, whether it’s learning when the date of the primary is in your state, voter registration timelines or eligibility requirements for absentee ballots.

Many state governments have not updated their election resources for the upcoming 2026 elections. Check back for updated information or changes in voting procedures.

Voting regulations vary from state to state, and many have changed since the presidential election cycle in 2024. Some states have tightened voting laws, while others have expanded options around mail voting or other alternatives.
