Historic Voter Participation in 2026 Midterms
With most election results now known, one thing is clear: Americans turned out in extraordinary numbers to vote in the 2026 midterm elections. According to preliminary estimates from the University of Florida’s Election Lab, approximately 124.3 million Americans cast their ballots, up from approximately 112 million in 2022.
In Island County, a remarkable 58 percent of registered voters turned in their ballots.
The League of Women Voters, including our Whidbey Island League, is proud to have played a role in that extraordinary turnout through voter education, mobilization, and voter protection efforts.
The League celebrates the millions of voters who made their voices heard, the election workers and administrators who made our elections possible, and the hundreds of thousands of voting and civil rights advocates who worked tirelessly to educate, protect, and empower voters.
