When is the Indiana, United States, midterm elections 2026?

Polling day is 2026-11-03 (officially set).

When will the final result of the U.S. House race be official?

Expected between 2026-11-16T18:00:00Z and 2026-12-02T04:59:59Z (UTC), confidence estimate. State certification. On receipt of the county statements the Election Division tabulates the votes for U.S. Representative and prepares a certificate of election that "the secretary of state shall promptly execute" and transmit to the Clerk of the U.S. House (IC 3-12-5-9); the Election Division 2026 calendar lists this as "immediately after receipt of the statements" (16 Nov). The statute sets no fixed date for this certificate. For comparison, the tabulation for statewide offices other than governor must be done "not later than noon of the last Tuesday in November" — 24 Nov 2026 (IC 3-12-5-7) — and commissions for those offices follow by noon on the first Tuesday in December — 1 Dec 2026 (IC 3-12-5-8(b)). Erring late, the window closes at the end of 1 Dec, Eastern time; it is an estimate. The 2022 certification date could not be confirmed from a state source. Indiana has no automatic recount: a candidate for federal office may petition the Election Division for a recount or contest from noon 10 days to noon 14 days after election day (13–17 Nov 2026), and a state party chairman until noon 17 days after (20 Nov 2026) (IC 3-12-11-2); a winning candidate's cross-petition is due by noon 24 Nov 2026 (IC 3-12-11-4, per the 2026 calendar). Errors in a county certification may be corrected until noon 20 Nov 2026 (IC 3-12-5-14, per the 2026 calendar).

estimate

Polls "open at 6 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. on election day" (IC 3-11-8-8), prevailing local time (Election Division 2026 calendar). Most of Indiana is on Eastern time (6:00 PM EST = 23:00 UTC on 3 Nov); the counties on Central time close an hour later, so the last polls close at 6:00 PM CST = 00:00 UTC on 4 Nov. Beginning at 8 p.m. local time, county election boards must enter unofficial results into the statewide system at least every 120 minutes until midnight, and resume at 9 a.m. the day after election day at least every 60 minutes until entry is complete (IC 3-12-4-6.3). The window closes at noon CST on 4 Nov: an estimate of when that resumed entry is largely done, not a published time. No 2022 completion time was found. Provisional ballots (counted by 3 p.m. on 13 Nov, IC 3-11.7-5-1) and overseas mail ballots postmarked by election day (accepted until noon on 13 Nov, IC 3-12-1-17) are added later.

County canvass. The county election board canvasses the returns from 6 p.m. on election day (IC 3-12-4-6). "All provisional ballots must be counted by not later than 3 p.m. ten (10) days following the election" — Friday 13 Nov 2026 (IC 3-11.7-5-1(b)). Then, "not later than noon on the second Monday following an election, each circuit court clerk shall prepare a certified statement under the clerk's seal of the number of votes received by each candidate for: (1) federal office" and sends it to the Election Division (IC 3-12-5-6) — Monday 16 Nov 2026 per the Election Division 2026 calendar. The window opens at 3 p.m. EST on 13 Nov and closes at noon CST on 16 Nov (the later of the two zones).
