Kansas 2026 Election Results: Senate Seat Flips Democratic for First Time Since 1932, Governor's Race Uncalled

Kansas held its midterm elections on November 3, 2026. The state's U.S. Senate seat flipped from Republican to Democratic for the first time since 1932, while the governor's race, separated so far by 5,578 votes, has not been called by the AP, and three other statewide offices are also uncalled. All four U.S. House incumbents were reelected, and Republicans lost their supermajority in the State House. Below is a summary of the statewide ballot results, published for the record.
