Elections happen every year in the U.S. but this November is especially important.
Across the country in 2026, you will be voting to elect 435 Members of the House of Representatives, 35 Senators, 44 state legislatures, 36 governors, 30 attorney general seats and many more. From water quality to climate mitigation to disaster preparedness, these legislators will have tremendous impacts on science issues.
AGU's Science Votes the Future is here to make sure you have all the information you need to feel confident at the ballot box.
Vote
Every vote matters in every election. Voter turnout is historically lower in midterm elections and turnout is even lower for STEM students. In 2022, only 22% of STEM students voted, a decrease of 5% from 2018.
