Special Elections
Although they won't get as much attention, there are several special elections being held on the same day as the 2022 midterms.
U.S. Senate
Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla was appointed on an interim basis to take over for Kamala Harris after she resigned to become vice president in January, 2021. In this case, 'interim' was for all but the final two months of the term. The winner of this special election - expected to be Padilla - will complete the term.
Padilla and Republican Mark Meuser are also on the ballot for the regular election to a six-year term. Polls close at 11:00 PM Eastern Time (ET).
U.S. House
This special election is to complete the term of Republican Jackie Walorski, who died in August. The same three candidates are also on the ballot for the regular election for a two-year term. Note that the special election is taking place under the current district boundaries, while the regular election will use redistricted boundaries.
The boundaries didn't shift all that much and Republican Rudy Yakym is expected to be the next representative. Polls close at 6:00 PM ET.
