The Associated Press, the most trusted source of information on election night with a history of accuracy dating to 1848, will offer that expertise to its customers and the public across all platforms when it counts the vote and covers the results of the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
With political reporters based across the country — and journalists on the ground in all 50 states — AP will continue to deliver campaign coverage and focus on the core issues affecting Americans, including inflation and the economy, access to abortion and more.
On election night AP will count the vote in over 7,000 races, tallying the vote in Senate and House races, gubernatorial contests and statewide races ranging from secretary of state to attorney general and more.
The Associated Press also will conduct AP VoteCast, its wide-ranging survey of American voters, delivering results on the opinions of the electorate nationwide and in 48 states. AP VoteCast is conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago for The Associated Press and Fox News.
AP will declare the winners in 35 Senate races, 435 congressional, 36 gubernatorial and 2 special elections using state-of-the-art analytical tools, its premier vote count and AP VoteCast to help determine when a race is decided.
