CBS News published a guide on how to watch 2026 midterm election results, according to its summary, with the coverage tied to Tuesday, Nov. 3. The summary said "control of Congress on the line" in House and Senate races around the country, and that the piece explains how to follow the results as they come in. The guide is CBS News guide to watching 2026 election results.
The CBS News summary does not name specific states or races, and it does not describe the timing of individual state results. The guide is dated Oct. 29, according to its publication timestamp.
NPR separately published a 2026 midterm voter guide page, which its headline and summary describe as a tool for finding local resources. NPR reported that "member stations are gathering information for voters," and its summary said that information ranges from voter guides down to local races. The page is credited to The NPR Network, according to its listed author. It is available as NPR 2026 midterm voter guides for local communities.
According to the NPR summary, readers can scroll through the page to find their state and the resources available from their local member station. The summary does not say how many states the page covers. The page carries an Oct. 30 publication date in its timestamp, one day after the CBS News guide.
Neither summary reports the number of member stations taking part, and neither describes the outcome of any race. The sources offer no information about results beyond the Tuesday, Nov. 3 date that CBS News gave for its coverage. Neither summary said whether the two organizations coordinated their publications.
