Millions Head to Polls in 2025 Off-Year Elections, Voting on Tax Debt and More

Americans are heading to the polls for off-year elections in 2025, marking one of the most significant tests of voter sentiment ahead of the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election. The elections will determine control of state legislatures and local offices, with many Republican-held seats facing challenges from Democrats. Several top-down ballot initiatives are also on the ballot, including measures to expand early voting and limit gerrymandering. The results of these elections could have significant implications for both parties in the lead-up to next year's midterm elections.
