Wisconsin's 5th congressional district

Missouri's 4th Congressional District race pits two-term Republican incumbent Mark Alford, a former TV anchor serving on House Armed Services and Appropriations committees, against Democrat Jordan Herrera, an Air Force veteran and Missouri assistant attorney general, and Libertarian Thomas Holbrook. Alford campaigns on an America First platform, border enforcement and reduced federal spending, while Herrera emphasizes economic security, healthcare access and limiting government regulation of personal life. Holbrook opposes gerrymandering and tariffs. The district's boundaries remain contested: the 2022 map, used for this election, covers west-central Missouri, while a newer 2025 map used for the primary would shift Kansas City into the district instead of District 5.

All 14 of Georgia's U.S. House seats are up for election on Nov. 3, 2026, with major-party nominees now set in every district. Most incumbents, including Sanford Bishop, Brian Jack, Hank Johnson, Nikema Williams, Lucy McBath, Rich McCormick, Austin Scott, Andrew Clyde and Rick Allen, face challengers, while District 13 features state Rep. Jasmine Clark against Air Force veteran Jonathan Chavez. Candidates include political organizers, veterans, business owners, a physician, a microbiologist and several first-time contenders.

For prediction markets, the races hinge on incumbency, district partisan lean and name recognition, with most seats considered safe for the incumbent party but a handful, such as Districts 1, 2 and 13, drawing closer scrutiny.

North Augusta, South Carolina, has shifted its City Council and mayoral elections from odd-year April votes to the even-year November general election, aligning them with state and federal races. Three Republicans—incumbent David Buck, former Councilwoman Jenafer McCauley, and newcomer Tabitha Waldrop—are running unopposed for three open seats after winning a contested June primary; no Democrats filed. The change aims to boost turnout, which historically ran just 10-15% in standalone local elections versus 70-80% in general elections. Aiken County voters will also decide an uncontested District 5 council race and a referendum on financing wastewater treatment infrastructure, including an expansion of the Horse Creek plant. Early voting began October 19 ahead of the November 3 election.

The Madison Common Council voted 14-6 to remove interim independent police monitor Meeka Glass after a marathon meeting that began Tuesday evening and ran past 7 a.m. Wednesday, with public comment lasting over seven hours and about 140 people registered to speak. The removal resolution, introduced by Alder Ochowicz, cited concerns over Glass's handling of her duties, including hiring for the permanent monitor role. Glass disputed the allegations and accused the mayor, city attorney, and HR director of misconduct, while the Police Civilian Oversight Board had recently rated her performance highly. The vote follows months of conflict involving a police altercation, a restraining order, and ongoing litigation over a fatal police shooting.

Twelve U.S. House seats covering the Dallas-Fort Worth area are on the Nov. 3 midterm ballot, with early voting running Oct. 19-30. Most races feature Republican incumbents—Keith Self, Pat Fallon, Lance Gooden, Jake Ellzey, Craig Goldman, Ronny Jackson, Beth Van Duyne and Roger Williams—facing Democratic challengers, plus a Libertarian in District 26. Three open seats stand out: District 30, vacated by Jasmine Crockett after her Senate run; and Districts 32 and 33, left open by Julie Johnson and Marc Veasey, respectively, after mid-decade redistricting reshaped them from Democratic-leaning to Republican-favored territory. In District 33, Colin Allred faces Patrick David Gillespie. Results are expected after 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Republicans currently hold a narrow 5-4 majority on the Salt Lake County Council, and the balance of power is on the ballot this November in Utah's most populous county. The marquee race pits Republican Kathleen Anderson, who ousted incumbent Laurie Stringham at the GOP convention, against Democrat Zach Robinson and Constitution Party candidate Gregory Beglarian for an at-large seat.

Three district races are also in play: Republican Mike Bird faces Democrat Luke Maynes for the open District 3 seat, Democrat Sara Cimmers faces Republican Traci Crockett in District 5, and Democratic incumbent Jiro Johnson defends District 1 against Libertarian Casey Poe. Democrats are emphasizing affordable housing, water conservation and child care funding, while Republicans are campaigning on public safety, lower taxes and small business support.

Down-ballot, incumbents District Attorney Sim Gill and Sheriff Rosie Rivera seek re-election against Republican challengers, and Republican Auditor Chris Harding faces Democrat Ali Cloward. Mail ballots are due by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3.
