美国大多数选举席位由某一党派稳操胜券，因此国会控制权取决于少数几个竞争激烈的“关键”席位。专家追踪这些席位以预测整体结果；如果某党派赢得了原本预期会输掉的席位，往往预示着该党将迎来一个成功的夜晚。在下图中，右侧的蓝色图形预示民主党将迎来一个好夜晚，左侧的红色图形则预示共和党表现良好。
Most US election seats are reliably won by one party, so control of Congress comes down to a few competitive "battleground" seats. Experts track these to predict overall results; if a party wins seats they were expected to lose, it often signals a successful night. In the charts below, blue shapes on the right signal a good night for the Democrats, and red shapes on the left signal that the Republicans have done well.
参议院 查看完整结果 选举前，库克政治报告将六场参议院竞选归类为真正的“势均力敌”。民主党需要赢得其中至少三场，再加上赢下其他预期会获胜的竞选。倾向民主党倾向民主党偏向民主党偏向民主党势均力敌势均力敌 偏向共和党偏向共和党倾向共和党倾向共和党众议院 民主党目前在足够多的众议院席位上占据优势，即使不赢得库克政治报告归类为“势均力敌”的18个席位，也能夺得众议院控制权。
Senate See full results Before the election, the Cook Report classified six Senate races as genuine "toss-ups". The Democrats need to win at least three of these, alongside the other races they are expected to win. Likely DemocratLikely Dem. Lean DemocratLean Dem. Toss-upToss-up Lean RepublicanLean Rep. Likely RepublicanLikely Rep. House Democrats are now favoured in enough House seats to take the chamber without winning any of the 18 seats the Cook Political Report classes as “toss-ups”.
如果他们赢下所有预期会获胜的席位，将舒适地获得多数席位。权力平衡现在取决于民主党能否守住18个被评为“偏向民主党”的席位。共和党在195个席位上占优，若想获胜，需要囊括所有18个势均力敌的席位，并反转五个偏向民主党的席位。
If they win every seat they are expected to win, they will comfortably win a majority. The balance of power now turns on whether Democrats hold the 18 seats rated “lean Democratic”. Republicans, favoured in 195 seats, would need to sweep all 18 toss-ups and flip five Democratic-leaning seats to win.
众议院结果 共和党正在捍卫435个成员组成的众议院中的多数党地位。民主党持有212个众议院席位，需要218个席位才能赢得控制权。众议院议员任期两年，每逢偶数年面临改选。
House results Republicans are defending a majority in the 435-member House. Democrats hold 212 House seats and need 218 to win control. Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms and face re-election every even year. Election explained Senate results Thirty-three of the 100 members of the upper chamber are being elected regularly this year, along with two other special elections.
选举解读 参议院结果 100名参议员中有33名今年进行常规改选，此外还有两场特别选举。选举前共和党掌握参议院多数党地位。参议员任期六年。
Republicans had the Senate majority before the election. Senators serve six-year terms.
州长结果 36个州以及三个领地正在举行州长选举。选举前共和党和民主党各持有18个州长职位。三位现任州长将卸任。美国立法机构国会由两院组成：众议院和参议院。众议院如何选举产生及如何运作？
Governor results Gubernatorial elections are taking place in 36 states, as well as three territories. Republicans and Democrats held 18 of these state governorships each before the election. Three incumbent governors are retiring. How the elections work The US legislature, Congress, has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. How is the House of Representatives elected and how do they work?
作为下院，众议院设有435个有表决权的席位，每个席位代表一个规模大致相当的选区。这435个席位每两年改选一次。
The lower chamber, the House of Representatives, has 435 voting seats, each representing a district of roughly similar size. There are elections for each of these seats every two years.
众议院议长是众议院的主持人，由众议员选举产生。众议院拥有若干专属权力，例如发起税收法案、弹劾联邦官员，以及在选举人团票数持平时选举总统。参议院如何选举产生及如何运作？
The speaker of the House is the chamber’s presiding officer, elected by the representatives. The House has several exclusive powers, such as the power to initiate revenue bills, impeach federal officials and elect the president in the case of an electoral college tie. How is the Senate elected and how do they work?
作为上院，参议院共有100名议员，任期六年。每两年改选三分之一的席位。每个州拥有两名参议员，不论人口多寡；这意味着人口不足60万的怀俄明州与人口近4000万的加利福尼亚州拥有同等分量。
The upper chamber, the Senate, has 100 members, who sit for six-year terms. One-third of the seats come up for election in each two-year cycle. Each state has two senators, regardless of its population; this means that Wyoming, with a population of less than 600,000, carries the same weight as California, with almost 40 million.
大多数立法需经两院通过方能成为法律，但参议院还行使一些重要的其他职能，特别是批准总统提名的高级官员，例如最高法院大法官。参议院还拥有向总统提供建议、同意批准条约以及审理众议院移送的联邦官员弹劾案的专属权力。
Most legislation needs to pass both chambers to become law, but the Senate has some important other functions, notably approving senior presidential appointments, for instance to the supreme court. The Senate also has the sole power to provide advice to the president, consent to ratify treaties and try impeachment cases for federal officials referred to it by the House.
在大多数州，选举日得票最多的候选人即赢得席位。然而，佐治亚州和路易斯安那州要求获胜候选人获得50%以上的选票；若无人达标，则在得票前两名的候选人之间举行决选。
In most states, the candidate with the most votes on election day wins the seat. However, Georgia and Louisiana require the winning candidate to garner 50% of votes cast; if no one does, they hold a runoff election between the top two candidates.
缅因州和阿拉斯加州在国会选举中采用排序复选制，而非领先者胜出制。选民按偏好顺序对候选人进行排序。若无候选人获得过半数首选票，得票最少的候选人将被淘汰，其选票转给各选民的次选候选人。这一过程持续进行，直至有候选人赢得过半数选票。
Maine and Alaska use ranked-choice voting as opposed to the first past the post voting system in congressional elections. Voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the least-supported candidate is eliminated and their ballots are transferred to each voter’s next-ranked candidate. This continues until a candidate wins a majority.
在一些州，选举可能出现同党两名候选人对决的局面。在“前两名”或“丛林初选”制度下，所有党派的候选人在同一初选中竞争，得票最多的两人晋级，不分党派。国会选举的候选人可能都是民主党人，也可能都是共和党人。
In some states, an election can feature two candidates from the same party. Under top-two or “jungle” primary systems, candidates from all parties compete in the same primary and the two receiving the most votes advance, regardless of party. The congressional election candidates could both be Democrats or both be Republicans.
佛罗里达州和俄亥俄州正在举行参议院“特别选举”，因为这两个席位的原任者——马尔科·鲁比奥和J·D·万斯——在2024年总统大选后辞职，加入行政部门。州长如何选举产生？他们如何履职？州长由本州选民直接选举产生。得票最多的候选人当选。
Florida and Ohio are having ‘special elections’ for the Senate because the previous holders of their seats – Marco Rubio and JD Vance – resigned to join the executive branch following the 2024 presidential election. How are governors elected and how do they work? Governors are elected by direct vote in their states. The candidate with the highest number of votes is declared the winner.
在每个州，行政分支均由州长领导。任期均为四年，佛蒙特州和新罕布什尔州除外，这两个州的任期为两年。
In every state, the executive branch is led by a governor. They serve for four years in office, with the exception of Vermont and New Hampshire where tenures are two years long.
州长负责执行州法律，拥有一系列权力，如行政命令、行政预算、立法提案和否决权。选举结果如何报道？
Governors are responsible for implementing state laws, and have a range of powers available to them such as executive orders, executive budgets and legislative proposals and vetoes. How are the results reported?
本页面的选举结果由美联社报道。当美联社判定落后候选人已无获胜路径时，将宣布某州的胜选者。这可能发生在该州尚未完成100%计票之时。
The election results on this page are reported by the Associated Press. AP will “call” the winner in a state when it determines that the trailing candidate has no path to victory. This can happen before 100% of votes in a state have been counted.
各州总票数的估算数据也由美联社提供。随着更多选民投票率数据出炉，这些数字会在选举之夜及随后几天持续更新。
Estimates for the total vote in each state are also provided by AP. The numbers update throughout election night and in the following days, as more data on voter turnout becomes available.
