Illinois
Final polls close
Races to look at
6th, 13th and 14th districts that are congressional
Timing of outcomes
Many votes should quickly be counted, however the sleep will require time. Because absentee ballots are prepared the moment they arrive, tallies of these gotten and prepped for counting before Election Day (in addition to all in-person votes) must be released on election evening. Nonetheless, Illinois’s Nov. 17 due date for getting absentee ballots means outcomes won’t be complete for about fourteen days. Some counties are preparing to launch updated outcomes every time through that time, while some might only upgrade a few times. Fortunately, the state will report the amount of unreturned mail ballots throughout, therefore we’ll understand whether there are sufficient ballots outstanding to sway the election. Thus far, officials state that sufficient absentee voters are going back their ballots early that the election-night outcomes should provide us with a “fairly clear image.”
Shift in outcomes
Democrats will probably gain as late-arriving absentee ballots are counted Nov. 4-17. Several counties might also view a red change on election evening simply because they discharge absentee ballots first, followed by Election Day returns; nevertheless, many counties release absentee and precinct comes back simultaneously.
Indiana
Last polls close
Events to look at
President, fifth Congressional District
Timing of outcomes
It’ll probably have a days that are few. Absentee ballots can’t be prepared until Election Day, as well as 2 big counties ( each of that are when you look at the district that is 5th state they’ll just have time for you to count a small fraction of those votes on Tuesday. Nevertheless, Indiana won’t have actually as numerous absentee votes to count as other states, along with other counties say they’ll don’t have any issue reporting complete outcomes on election evening.
Shift in outcomes
The days after Election Day will most likely view a blue change as counties function with their staying absentee ballots. On election evening it self, some counties often see a red change if absentee votes are reported very first and Election Day votes trickle in later on. Nevertheless, many counties combine their absentee and Election votes day.
Final polls close
Events to look at
President; Senate; first, second and 3rd congressional districts
Timing of outcomes
Day most votes will be counted quickly, but some will continue to trickle in after Election. Because of a brand new guideline permitting for earlier in the day processing of absentee ballots, election officials are confident that ballots gotten by Election Day is going to be counted that night, although they will also be leaving available the possibility that the high amount can certainly make that impossible. But, Iowa legislation also calls for officials to count mail ballots that come by Nov. 9 (for as long they’re postmarked by Nov. 2), therefore results won’t be final for around per week. The real question is what number of ballots will reach the eleventh hour.
Shift in outcomes
Late-arriving mail ballots will likely skew Democratic, creating a blue change in the occasions after Nov. 3.

Nonetheless, mail ballots are permitted to show up because belated as Friday whilst still being count, which will make the huge difference in a race that is close. Extra vote totals is supposed to be established as soon as per Nov. 4-6 day.
Shift in outcomes
Many counties discharge mail votes first (although about one-third intermingle all of them with Election Day votes), which means that results that are initial be too good to be real for Democrats. Expect a shift that is red election evening wears on. But, the mail votes released later on when you look at the may nudge margins back toward Democrats week.
