What are midterm elections?
Midterm elections take place two years after a presidential election, halfway through a president’s four-year term.
The midterms are often considered a referendum on how Americans are feeling about the first half of a president’s term.
Who is up for election?
Voters aren’t electing a new president, but there are federal, state and local seats contested in midterm elections.
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are contested in the midterm elections. Representatives serve two-year terms and must run for reelection each election cycle to keep their seat. Unless you live in Washington D.C. or a U.S. territory, you will see a race for the House of Representatives on your ballot.
In 2022, 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate will be elected. Senators serve six-year terms and their election years are staggered, so every two years one third of the Senate is either elected or reelected.
Gubernatorial elections will be held in 36 states this year. Most governors serve four-year terms; Vermont and New Hampshire are the only states where governors’ terms last only two years.
