How to read results
- Not yet reported means this dataset has no official result snapshot for the race; it does not mean zero votes were cast.
- Partial · unofficial means a dated official count has been recorded. “Leading” describes that snapshot, not a prediction or race call; ties remain ties.
- Certified appears only after the election authority certifies the outcome. “Official winner after certification” links to that evidence.
- Reporting percentages appear only when supplied by the official source, with the source’s measure: precincts or expected votes. Precincts reporting is not the percentage of all votes counted.
- Ranked-choice counts identify their tabulation round. Early first-choice leads do not establish the final outcome.
Alaska uses ranked-choice voting for its general elections; first-choice counts and later tabulation rounds must be distinguished. Alaska: official rules.
Maine uses ranked-choice voting in general elections for federal offices, including U.S. Senate; its governor’s general election uses plurality instead. Maine: official rules.
Georgia requires a majority; if no candidate reaches it, the top two advance to a runoff on 1 December 2026. Georgia: official rules.
Louisiana’s 2026 U.S. Senate race uses a November general election after closed-party primaries; the most votes wins, without a majority requirement. It is not the former November all-candidate primary system. Louisiana: official rules.
Snapshots are manually reviewed. Every race links to its state’s official results website. No polling, forecasts, ratings, licensed result feeds or Vote Monitor race calls.
