Upcoming contests
What comes after the 2026 midterms
Dates from the states' election calendars. No forecast is attached to any of these: FutureBallot publishes a forecast for a contest only when a model for it has passed its pre-registered test, and the 2026 results enter the models' training only after the states certify them.
