Absentee Ballot Request for US-based and Overseas Voters Abroad, Election Dates / Deadlines, and How to Vote in your State

In 2024, the Republican National Committee challenged a Mississippi statute that allowed absentee ballots to be received up to five days after a federal Election Day. If cast by Election Day, those ballots would still be counted.

"MID"-term is an odd name for an election. It's a name that not everyone can relate to at first. But when you look at "midterm" and in your mind, you see the words "middle of the [president's] term", then you can capture the meaning more clearly.

The midterm elections occur across all states two years into the president's 4-year term. It is a nationwide election and it determines the balance of power in congress. It is often referred to as the "congressional midterm". But make no mistake, the midterm elections take the temperature on the president. They can be a rubber-stamp of approval or a referendum of rejection to the president's agenda.
