The key facts

  • On November 3, 2026, midterm congressional elections are taking place in the United States

Election Day in the United States

On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Americans are heading to polling stations across the country for the midterm elections, which will determine who controls Congress during the final two years of Donald Trump's presidential term. This is reported by Euronews in a video report from the polling stations.

How the voting is going

The report from Fairfax, Virginia, shows voters filling out ballots, registering at polling stations, and casting their votes as Election Day voting began. Due to time zone differences, polling stations open at different times: in a number of western states, voting has yet to begin. Millions of Americans have already voted early, and according to Euronews, early turnout is running ahead of the previous midterm elections.

What is known and what is not yet known

The publications describe only the beginning of voting: the election results and the composition of the new Congress have not yet been announced. Both Euronews notes (the English and Russian versions) contain the same set of facts, so no additional details about the balance of power in Congress or the key states are available in the materials.
