The next U.S. midterm election will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Midterm elections take place near the midpoint of a president's four-year term and include elections for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, roughly one-third of the Senate seats, many governorships, and various state and local offices. The midterm general election day is always the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, a tradition dating back to the 19th century.
If you were referring to other elections in 2025, note that some states have state legislative elections and gubernatorial elections scheduled for November 4, 2025, but these are not the federal midterm elections.
