Today’s elections and what people are voting for vary by state and locality. In the United States on Election Day, voters typically decide:
- Gubernatorial races (e.g., New Jersey and Virginia often hold governors’ elections in off-years)
- State legislative elections (house and senate), which determine control of state governments
- Local races (mayors, city councils, county offices)
- Ballot measures and propositions (constitutional amendments, tax measures, public policy questions)
- Redistricting-related measures in some states
What people are voting for today specifically depends on where you are. To find your exact ballot, you can check your state or local election office website or use a nonpartisan voter information tool to look up:
- Your polling place and voting hours
- Your exact ballot items (candidates and measures)
- Any deadlines for early or mail-in voting
If you share your location (city/state or country, if outside the U.S.), I can summarize the key races and measures on today’s ballot for your area.
