Recounts
Automatic recount: A recanvass is required when the top two are separated by less than 0.5% of the votes for the office and not more than 2,000 votes, or by fewer than 20 votes. A defeated candidate can waive it in writing. The threshold is measured of all votes cast for the office.

The 2026 calendar lists Nov 10 as the last day for recanvass officials to conduct a close-vote recanvass.

FEC bulk data read November 4, 2026. Campaign totals come from each filing's own FEC summary through its latest processed report. Outside spending is independent expenditures itemized in committee reports in the FEC bulk files, primaries included; late 24- and 48-hour reports, party coordinated spending, communication costs and groups that do not report to the FEC are not included. Outside spending is, by law, made without coordinating with the candidate, and it is not the candidate's money. A contribution or expenditure is not evidence of a vote, favor or wrongdoing.
