Nearly 40 million votes have already been cast for races that will determine not only who controls Congress, but also governors, mayors and city councils.
Elections like this year's midterms are run and ballots are counted by thousands of local jurisdictions across the country.
The Associated Press is tracking results in thousands of races. Knowing how many voters actually showed up is critical to knowing when a race is over.
To explain what it takes to count the vote, Deema Zein spoke to David Scott, vice president of election services at the Associated Press.
