2026 Midterm Election Results

Tune in tonight at 4:50 pm to hear the latest results on the air.

AP's calls don't cover judges or county, town and district contests, so those are unofficial counts from county clerks, reported through the Colorado Secretary of State. Results as of 3:02 pm Wednesday; county counts were last updated Tuesday night or early Wednesday.
