Midterm elections 2026: what time do the polls close today? - The Guardian

Key moments from the 2026 U.S. midterm elections

The U.S. midterm elections on November 3, 2026, were marked by key moments. Polls closed with investment markets uncertain, Apple facing difficulties, and a U.S. strike on an Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz just as the polls opened. The elections also included a referendum on Trump's presidency and discussions on global policy effects, including Ukraine and Iran. The day saw immigration issues, economic worries, and Iranian concerns, with Trump defending his record. Stock markets remained shaky ahead of the election, with Apple struggling.

“Polls closed with investment markets uncertain, Apple facing difficulties, and a U.S,” — Farah Vance, chief correspondent at Wrayburn Cliff Partnership, noted.
