Sherrod Brown won Ohio's 2026 special election (called by the Associated Press) and is listed in place of Jon Husted. Special-election winners take office once the state certifies the result. Every other row is the current officeholder in each seat. The list updates when the roster does, including after the January 3 swearing-in. See members leaving Congress for announced departures.
The 2028 Presidential Election
The presidential race is on the same ballot as the House and Senate, on Tuesday, November 7, 2028. Voters in each state choose electors, and a candidate needs 270 of the 538 electoral votes to win. Each state has as many electors as it has members of Congress, plus three for Washington, D.C. The 2028 allocation is the same as 2024's: it comes from the 2020 census until the 2030 census reapportions the House.
The 22nd Amendment bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, so Donald Trump, elected in 2016 and 2024, cannot be elected again. The parties choose their nominees in primaries and caucuses, typically held from January through June of the election year; the 2028 nominating calendars have not been set.
The electors vote in their states on Tuesday, December 19, 2028, Congress counts those votes on January 6, 2029, and the new president is inaugurated at noon on January 20, 2029. See the live countdown to Election Day.
The House in 2028
All 435 House seats are on the ballot, as they are every two years. The House elected in 2026 serves until January 3, 2029; the members elected in 2028 form the 121st Congress. See the current party breakdown and the 2026 results that set the House majority going into 2028.

This is the current list; it changes when a senator leaves office before the election. Sherrod Brown won Ohio's 2026 special election and takes the seat from Jon Husted once sworn in.
How many Senate seats are up in 2028?
34 — every Class III seat. 18 held by Republicans, 16 by Democrats. All 435 House seats are on the ballot too, as they are every two years.
When is the 2028 election?
Tuesday, November 7, 2028. It is a presidential election, so the presidency is on the same ballot as the House and Senate. Senators elected that day take office on January 3, 2029.
How many electoral votes does it take to win in 2028?
270 of the 538 electoral votes. Each state has as many electors as it has members of Congress, and Washington, D.C. has three. The 2028 allocation is the same as 2024's, because it comes from the 2020 census until the 2030 census reapportions the House.
When does the winner of the 2028 election take office?
The president is inaugurated at noon on January 20, 2029, under the 20th Amendment. Senators and representatives elected in 2028 take office on January 3, 2029, when the 121st Congress convenes. Congress counts the electoral votes in a joint session on January 6, 2029.
Why are Florida and Ohio on both the 2026 and 2028 ballots?
Their seats were filled by appointment in 2025, so a 2026 special election fills the rest of the term. That term ends on January 3, 2029, so the seat is up again in 2028 for a full six-year term. In Ohio, Sherrod Brown (Democrat) won the special, so Brown will be the incumbent in 2028.
