2026 general election results: Thursday update
Washington State | Unofficial count as of 8:01 p.m., Wednesday, November 4, 2026 | Prepared by the Washington Business Properties Association
Election overview
Counties posted their second round of results last night, and about 2.2 million ballots have now been counted, with roughly 670,000 still left to count. No race for the Legislature, Congress, or the Supreme Court has changed leaders since election night, and Democrats remain on track for a two-thirds supermajority in the House. Everything here is unofficial until counties certify on November 24. Full race-by-race results, including a list of the closest races, follow.
What changed since yesterday:
- The supermajority is holding. Democrats still lead in 68 of 98 House seats and are on track for 31 of 49 in the Senate.
- Some close races tightened. Wednesday's count leaned slightly Republican in several of the closest House races. It is too early to read much into one day's count, though, since most of the remaining ballots are in King, Snohomish, and Spokane counties.
- The income tax is still failing by 16 points, and the margin grew.
National news and trends
No real change. Democrats control both chambers of Congress, with the Senate races in Mississippi and Alaska still too close to call.
Washington's congressional races
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez continues to lead comfortably in the 3rd District, so Senate Republican Leader John Braun is likely headed back to Olympia, where his state Senate seat was not on the ballot this year. Rep. Michael Baumgartner's narrow lead over Carmela Conroy in the 5th grew slightly. If both hold, Washington's delegation stays at eight Democrats and two Republicans.
Washington ballot initiatives
- I-645 (income tax repeal): FAILING, by a slightly wider margin. The fight now moves to the courts.
- I-638 (girls' school sports): PASSING.
- I-001 (Parents' Bill of Rights): FAILING.
- Tacoma Safe Homes for All (Measure 1): PASSING, with its lead growing in Wednesday's count.
- Bellingham Rent-Pricing Ban (Initiative 26-01): PASSING.
Washington Supreme Court
No change. Sean O'Donnell's lead in the open Position 4 grew slightly, and it remains the race to watch as King County, Ian Birk's strongest county, keeps counting. Candidates backed by the governor and Democratic leaders still lead comfortably in the other four races.
Washington State Legislature
House. All nine Democratic pickups still lead. Two narrowed and are now within about a thousand votes: Stacy Willoughby over Rep. Brian Burnett in the 12th, and David Berg over Rep. Michael Keaton in the 25th. The Clark County and Yakima Valley pickups held or grew. Republicans holding narrow leads in the 25th, 35th, and 39th all widened them.
Senate. Carolina Mejia's lead over Sen. Drew MacEwen in the 35th slipped slightly, making it the one Senate seat to watch. Rep. Cindy Ryu's lead over Sen. Jesse Salomon in the 32nd grew.
Moderate Democrats. The challengers from the left held or grew their leads over Reps. Amy Walen, Melanie Morgan, and Sharon Tomiko Santos. Rep. Tarra Simmons and Daria Ilgen are still too close to call in the 23rd.
What it adds up to. Even if Republicans came back to win both the 12th and the 25th, House Democrats would still hold 66 seats, exactly the two-thirds line.
Washington's balance of power if current leads hold
| Body | Before | If current leads hold | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| State House (98) | 59 D, 39 R | 68 D, 30 R | D +9 |
| State Senate (49) | 30 D, 19 R | 31 D, 18 R | D +1 |
| U.S. House delegation (10) | 8 D, 2 R | 8 D, 2 R | No change |
What this means for us
About 27 new lawmakers are on track to arrive in Olympia in January, and they are forming their views on the issues that matter to WBPA members now. If you are in one of their districts, let us know and we will set up a meeting before session begins. The table at the end of this report lists every new lawmaker by district.
A reminder: the Center for Pragmatic Leadership's Washington Summit is November 30 through December 2 at Semiahmoo. Please have your leadership register at luma.com/g47bu0ko and let me know you are going.
What comes next
Counties post their next counts this afternoon, between about 4 and 5 p.m. We will send our next update Friday morning, November 6, or sooner if a close race changes hands. Counties certify on November 24, and the 2027 session convenes Monday, January 11.

Statewide ballot measures
| Measure | What a Yes vote does | Yes | No | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I-645 (income tax repeal) | Repeals SB 6346, the 9.9% tax on household income above $1 million (effective 2028), and bars income taxes at every level of government | 42.1% (937,349) | 57.9% (1,290,675) | FAILING |
| I-638 (girls' school sports) | Requires middle and high school athletes to compete based on sex at birth | 56.6% (1,254,275) | 43.4% (962,553) | PASSING |

The No side outraised the initiative campaigns by a wide margin, more than $18 million against Let's Go Washington's mostly signature-gathering budget, with a separate $3.8 million Yes on I-645 effort. Washington voters have rejected income tax proposals at the ballot every time since the 1930s, most recently in 2010.

Latest figures are the Secretary of State's count as of 8:01 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4. Percentages include write-ins, as the state reports them. If current leads hold, House Democrats gain nine seats (12-1, 14-1, 14-2, 17-1, 17-2, 18-1, 18-2, 25-1, 26-2) for a 68 to 30 majority. In multi-candidate primaries, the A / B primary figures show only the two who advanced.
