The Associated Press, the most trusted source for U.S. elections information, will provide its authoritative vote count, race calls and independent journalism to news organizations, technology platforms and audiences worldwide for the 2026 midterm elections.

AP will count the vote and declare winners in nearly 7,000 races, including over 5,200 contested races, ranging from congressional and gubernatorial elections to state and local contests in all 50 states.

AP will also provide insights into the electorate’s choices and motivations through The Voter Poll, conducted by SSRS for AP and the major U.S. television networks. Combining in-person exit polls with surveys conducted by mail, phone and online, The Voter Poll captures the views of Americans who vote early, by mail or on Election Day, with results in every state holding an election for U.S. Senate or governor.
