Unofficial
Unofficial results. Unofficial: The 2026 numbers are the DC Board of Elections’ election-night report (last updated 2026-11-09 21:35 UTC), which counts 144 of 144 precincts by the Board’s own flag. Mail ballots are accepted until November 13, 2026, so every number can still change. Ranked-choice races show first-choice counts only. “Leads” means ahead in the unofficial count, not a call. Ranked-choice races are never described as led.

Read this with the numbers
- Election-night count as of November 9, 2026 (last updated 2026-11-09 21:35 UTC), 144 of 144 precincts by the Board’s flag. Mail ballots are accepted until November 13, so every number can still change.
- Ranked-choice contests (Delegate, Mayor, At-large Council, Ward 1 and Ward 5 Council, Ward 6 State Board of Education) show first-choice counts only and read “Ranked-choice pending”. They are not counted for a party and nothing is called. At-large Council elects two members.
- The shadow U.S. Senator and shadow U.S. Representative are unseated advocacy offices, not seats in Congress. The Delegate cannot vote on the House floor, so it does not count toward House control.
- Council wards 1, 3, 5 and 6 and State Board of Education wards 1, 3, 5 and 6 are on the 2026 ballot; they compare with 2022, the last year those wards voted. State Board of Education races are nonpartisan, so they have no party margin.
The state page lists results from approved rows drawn from state results feeds and Wikipedia; those are not the counts on this desk, which shows the DC Board of Elections’ unofficial election-night report, with first-choice counts only in ranked-choice races. See the state page.

Sources and method
- 2026: the DC Board of Elections’ election-night results report, read Mon, 09 Nov 2026 20:45:47 GMT. Unofficial, not yet certified. Citywide and ward contests (CSV) (checksum ad87951e42c9)
- 2022 and 2024: the Board of Elections’ own results pages for the 2022 and 2024 general elections (read as the Board’s page, attributed), taken from the Board’s result files by ward. Ward seats are compared with the same ward’s earlier contest, not summed over counties. 2022 (checksum dcf46d6ee22c) 2024 (checksum 0156d194d452)
- District maps: Not drawn yet. The ward boundary file is not loaded, so there is no ward map and no map of the Council or State Board of Education seats.
- Which seats appear: the citywide contests (Delegate, Mayor, Council Chair, two At-large Council seats, Attorney General, shadow U.S. Senator and Representative), the four Council ward seats and the four State Board of Education ward seats on the 2026 ballot. Ballot Initiative 86, party offices and the 345 Advisory Neighborhood Commission contests are not on this board. A seat with one named candidate reads Unopposed instead of a percentage; a seat with no Republican or no Democrat reads No R or No D instead of a margin; ranked-choice seats read Ranked-choice pending.
- Margin: Republican votes minus Democratic votes, as points of all votes in the seat. A seat with one candidate shows “Unopposed”. Shift: this year’s margin minus the margin in the year you compare with. Leads change: the leading party in the unofficial count differs from the latest earlier contest for the same seat (2024 if it was on the ballot, otherwise 2022). It describes the count so far; nothing is called.
- District lines: The District has eight wards. Half of the ward Council and State Board of Education seats are on the ballot each cycle: wards 1, 3, 5 and 6 in 2022 and 2026, wards 2, 4, 7 and 8 in 2024. A ward seat compares with the last year that ward voted, and the other year reads “Not on the 2024 ballot”. We did not check whether any ward line moved between 2022 and 2026.
