Unofficial
Unofficial results. These are the totals on the Iowa Secretary of State’s election results site as published November 12, 2026, unofficial and not certified. Counts can change. “Leads” means ahead in the unofficial count, not a call.
As of , unofficial, per the Secretary of State’s election results site (electionresults.iowa.gov): 136 Iowa contests are loaded. In the unofficial count, Statewide (7 contests): Republicans lead 3, Democrats lead 4; U.S. House (4 contests): Republicans lead 1, Democrats lead 3; State Senate (25 contests): Republicans lead 13, Democrats lead 12; State House (100 contests): Republicans lead 56, Democrats lead 44. A lead is not a call.
Pick an office on the left and a filter on top. Every contest is one row, set against the same seat in 2022 and 2024. Everyone sees the statewide contests and the five closest seats in each chamber; Pro opens every district.
Read this with the numbers:
- The 2026 numbers are unofficial and not certified. The state’s site reports 96 of 99 counties in its JSON and 99 of 99 in its CSV, so we treat the statewide races as still counting. Totals are votes counted for the candidates listed, not ballots cast.
- Earlier results (2022 and 2024) are from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, a secondary source that we have not checked against the Secretary of State’s canvass (its PDFs sit behind a challenge page we do not bypass). Where its sums differ from the canvass, the canvass is right. It has the 2022 U.S. Senate, governor, secretary of state and attorney general by county and the 2024 presidential race; the other 2022 statewide offices (auditor, treasurer, agriculture) are not in its file.
- We show no Election Day or absentee split: Henry and Sioux counties reported no absentee votes at all in the November 4 publish and Sioux County still reports almost none (13 of 12,124 in the U.S. Senate race), which the other counties do not.
- Reports of an audit of about 2,000 uncounted absentee ballots in Johnson County (States Newsroom, November 6) are unconfirmed here. Johnson County’s U.S. Senate total is 2,041 votes higher in the November 12 publish than in the November 4 publish, which fits the report but does not confirm it, so county totals may still change.
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 Secretary of State’s unofficial totals published November 12, 2026, not certified. See the state page.

Sources and method
- 2026: the Secretary of State’s election results site, read Fri, 13 Nov 2026 05:48:25 GMT. Unofficial, not yet certified. Statewide contests (checksum ad5793186896) U.S. House (checksum ad5793186896) State Senate (checksum ad5793186896) State House (checksum ad5793186896)
- 2022 and 2024: the MIT Election Data and Science Lab’s precinct returns for 2022 and 2024, summed to counties and districts here (a secondary source, not checked against the state canvass), summed over each district’s counties. 2022 (checksum db5eb42db50c) 2024 (checksum c31797ace26c)
- District maps: There are no district outlines for Iowa on this site yet, so the seats board has no district map.
- Which seats appear: every seat on the 2026 ballot that the state lists: all 4 U.S. House seats, the 25 odd-numbered State Senate seats and all 100 State House seats, including unopposed ones. Iowa State Senators serve four-year terms, half elected every two years. The statewide ballot measure, judicial retention, city and school contests are not shown.
- 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: Iowa’s U.S. House, State Senate and State House districts are the 2021 Legislative Services Agency plan, first used in 2022, and we found no sign of a change for 2026. The 2022 and 2024 columns are from a secondary source (MIT Election Data and Science Lab); a seat missing from its file shows no earlier margin (most unopposed 2022 legislative seats are missing from it).
