Where to find more data
Official and authoritative results are published by the Washington Secretary of State and summarized by national partners with independent verification. See the Secretary of State’s general election results and voters’ guide pages for certified counts and candidate information, as well as the FEC for federal race data where applicable.

How to read live election results (plain language)
News sites often report two kinds of numbers: the shares of the vote a candidate has won, and the percent of the total ballots that have been counted. In these reports, the figure labeled as “the expected vote” is an estimate of how many ballots are still to be counted in that race. When a district shows a percentage labeled as “% in” or “est. vote in,” that tells you how much of the total ballots are already counted. A race marked as “uncalled” means enough ballots remain to potentially change the outcome. As results accumulate, the margins can tighten or widen, so margins shown early can shift significantly as more ballots are tallied. This article presents both the reported totals and the percentage of expected votes counted to give readers a clearer sense of progress and stability in each race.
For readers monitoring pace and direction, expect that counties report different counts at different times, and that statewide results may lag behind county-level tallies as canvassing and certification proceed.
Editorial note on interpretation
The Washington results presented here reflect current reporting and certified tallies where available. They are intended to help readers understand who has won in reported races, where results remain unsettled, and how the statewide measures are progressing. As the final certified counts are released, margins and uncalled statuses may change. Readers should consult the official results page for the most authoritative counts as counties complete canvasses and the Secretary of State finalizes results.
