Washington DC - It's not just the Harris-Trump show: US voters this November 5 will cast ballots for members of Congress, tens of thousands of state and local officials, and in multiple referendums on topics including hot-button issues like abortion.

We all know the battle for president between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris is at full scale, as the two remain neck and neck and trading barbs on Election Eve.

Plus, the pressure from third party candidates is keeping things interesting.

But what is up for a vote beyond the position of president? A lot!

Read on for what else is being decided on by voters nationwide on Tuesday.

Congress

In addition to choosing a president, millions of voters will decide the fate of Congress: both in the House of Representatives – where all seats are up for grabs – and the Senate, where one-third are.

The House of Representatives has 435 members, with each representing a Congressional district and elected for a two-year term. Republicans presently hold the House by a small margin, with the election so tight, it's a true toss-up for who will win control.

Thirty-four of the Senate's 100 seats are in play. The Senate consists of two senators from every state, who hold six-year terms. Democrats are in control now, but Republicans may well flip the chamber by a razor-thin margin.

If the same party were to win the presidency and both houses of Congress, it would have the power to push through the president's agenda without support from opposition lawmakers.

Governors

Gubernatorial elections will occur in 11 of the 50 states, with key races in New Hampshire, North Carolina, Indiana and Washington state.

The governor is the top political executive at the state level, where most powers that do not belong to the federal government lie.

Referendums

Since the federal right to an abortion was overturned in 2022 by the Supreme Court, the issue has been omnipresent on the political landscape.

Many Democrats are trying to use the debate over reproductive rights to dissuade women voters from casting ballots for Republicans.

Abortion rights will be the subject of referendums in some 10 states, including Montana, Missouri, Arizona, and Nevada. Voters in Nebraska will even vote on two competing abortion referendums - one prohibiting it after 12 weeks and another allowing it until fetal viability.

In dozens of states, voters are being asked to decide on a variety of other issues, too.

In Colorado, for example, voters will decide whether to ban "trophy hunting" of the mountain lion, bobcat, and lynx.

In the country's largest city, New York, six ballot measures are up for a vote to determine how much power to give to the mayor's office, and a state Equal Rights Amendment to enshrine transgender equality and abortion access in the state constitution.

And in Maine, voters will decide if they want to change their state flag.

Local elections

Thousands of local offices will also be up for election, including state-level lawmakers, judges, mayors, city council members, county officials, sheriffs and others.

With so much at stake this Election Day, Happy Voting!
