Midterm elections are a pivotal time when parties hope to maintain or shift majorities on both the Federal and local level. Thirty-five Senate seats are up for re-election or special election and all House of Representative seats are contested. Additionally, 36 states are electing Governors.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post notes that\u00a0voters turn out in far fewer numbers for midterm elections than for presidential elections<\/a>, but Fortune predicts a 50 year high for 2018 midterms\u00a0<\/a>based on a combination of participation in special elections, primaries, early voting, and overall interest in the election.<\/p>\n

Many early voters proudly showed off the stickers they received at polling places:<\/p>\n
