With votes cast and (mostly) counted, it’s time for education reporters to take stock of the November 2026 election outcomes. 

Some races, such as school boards and state superintendents, or ballot measures have a direct tie to education. But the truth is every election at every level has the potential to affect schools and campuses across the country. 

Join the Education Writers Association on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 1 p.m. Eastern for a webinar to help reporters unpack the 2026 election results and their implications for education. To bolster your coverage, get expert insights from Ballotpedia, the nonprofit, nonpartisan resource for information on elections, politics and policy.

Learn about key trends across a variety of races and on education-related ballot measures. Better understand how the outcomes are likely to impact education policy, identify helpful resources and develop a list of storylines to watch in the coming months.
