2026 Pennsylvania elections
November 3, 2026 (2026-11-03)

The 2026 Pennsylvania elections will be held in the state of Pennsylvania on November 3, 2026, alongside the nationwide midterm elections. Elections will be held for governor as well as all 17 of the state's U.S. House of Representatives seats, half of the seats in the State Senate, and all seats in the State House. Primary elections will be held on May 19, 2026.

Pennsylvania has been a crucial swing state in recent years. Donald Trump became the first Republican since 1988 to win Pennsylvania on the presidential level in 2016, and won it again in 2024. Democrats currently have a one seat majority in the House of Representatives, and Republicans have a two seat majority in the State Senate. The state's U.S. Senate delegation is split between Republicans and Democrats, following the ousting of Bob Casey Jr. in 2024. Democrats currently control the governorship.

Democrats suffered statewide losses in 2024, losing control of one of Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate seats, the Attorney General's office, and all other statewide offices up for election. Republicans gained a majority in the state's U.S. House delegation, unseating Democratic representatives Matt Cartwright and Susan Wild. Donald Trump won Pennsylvania over Kamala Harris after previously voting for Joe Biden in 2020.
