On November 3, local time, voting began in the US midterm elections. In this year's midterm elections, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party will compete for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate. At the same time, voters will also elect local public officials such as governors from 36 states and state legislators from some states. Previously, a record number of over 50 million people across the US had already voted early. Most polling stations open on November 3 usually open early in the morning local time and close that night. Each state will then conduct a final check and certification of all ballots, including mail-in ballots, overseas ballots, and temporary ballots. Preliminary results are usually announced on the evening of the 3rd local time. However, due to the heavy counting workload in some “swing states,” it may take days or even weeks for the final results to be announced.
