The 2016 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. During this presidential election year, the President of the United States and Vice President were elected. In addition, elections were held for all 435 voting-member seats in the United States House of Representatives (as well as all 6 non-voting delegate seats) and 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate. The Republican Party retained its majorities in the House and Senate. Twelve state governorships, two territorial governorships, and numerous other state and local elections were also contested.

Federal elections

Presidential election

The United States presidential election of 2016 was the 58th quadrennial U.S. presidential election. The current electoral vote distribution was determined by the 2010 census. Presidential electors who will elect the President and Vice President of the United States were chosen; a simple majority (270) of the 538 electoral votes are required to win the election. The incumbent president, Barack Obama (Democrat), was ineligible to be elected to a third term due to term limits established by the Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Businessman and reality television personality Donald Trump of New York became the Republican Party's presidential nominee on July 19, 2016, after defeating Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Ohio Governor John Kasich, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and several other candidates in the Republican primary elections.[1] Former Secretary of State and New York Senator Hillary Clinton became the Democratic Party's presidential nominee on July 26, 2016 after defeating Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and others in the Democratic primary elections. This was the first election with a female presidential nominee from a major political party. It was also the first election since 1944 that had major party presidential nominees from the same home state. Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, 306232 in pledged electors in the electoral college.

Congressional elections

Senate elections

All seats in Senate Class 3 were up for election. Additionally, special elections may be held to fill vacancies in the other two Senate Classes. Republicans maintained their majority of seats.

House of Representatives elections

All 435 voting seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for election. Additionally, elections were held to select the Delegate for the District of Columbia as well as the delegates from U.S. territories. This includes the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, who serves a four-year term. The Republicans maintained their majority of seats.

State elections

Gubernatorial elections

Elections were held for the governorships of twelve of the fifty U.S. states and two U.S. territories. A special election was held in Oregon after the resignation of John Kitzhaber as Governor.

Legislative elections

In 2016, 44 states held state legislative elections; 86 of the 99 chambers were up for election. Only six states were not holding state legislative elections: Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia hold legislative elections in odd-numbered years, while Alabama and Maryland hold their next legislative elections in 2018.[1]

Other elections and ballot measures

Many states also held elections for other elected offices, such as attorney general. Many states held ballot measures.

Local elections

Table of state, territorial, and federal results

This table shows the partisan results of Congressional, gubernatorial, presidential, and state legislative races held in each state and territory in 2016. Note that not all states and territories hold gubernatorial, state legislative, and United States Senate elections in 2016; additionally, the territories do not have electoral votes in American presidential elections, and neither Washington, D.C. nor the territories elect members of the United States Senate. Washington, D.C. and the five inhabited territories each elect one non-voting member of the United States House of Representatives. Nebraska's unicameral legislature and the governorship and legislature of American Samoa are officially non-partisan. In the table, offices/legislatures that are not up for election in 2016 are already filled in for the "after 2016 elections" section, although vacancies or party switching could potentially lead to a flip in partisan control.
