I don’t have live access to election databases in this moment, but here’s how to quickly check which states have elections today and what to look for: What to check
- Local and state election calendars: Most states hold various elections on specific days (often including statewide offices, legislative contests, and local measures). Today’s status may include statewide general elections, special elections, or local contests.
- Official sources: State secretary of state websites and county election offices publish today’s ballot and election status, including polling hours, ballot drop-off locations, and results when available.
- National aggregators: Outlets like Ballotpedia, USA.gov election pages, and the US Vote Foundation provide statewide and local election calendars and links to official sources.
How to verify quickly
- Step 1: Identify the current date and time in your locale.
- Step 2: Visit your state’s secretary of state or elections website and look for a “Upcoming Elections” or “Election Calendar” page for today’s date.
- Step 3: If today features a statewide election, find the official results or status page for the specific race(s) you care about.
- Step 4: For local elections, check your county clerk or registrar’s site; they often have the most up-to-date information on ballot drop-off locations, early voting hours, and results.
If you share your state or locality, the assistant can guide you to the exact page and summarize today’s contests and any available results.
