This 2028 election maps pack offers three Politics Elections maps free for reuse with credit: the 2028 Senate map of every Class III seat, the 2028 Senate open-seat map, and the 2028 secretary of state map. Each image is 1,600 pixels wide, carries a printed credit and an as-of date, and may be embedded with a link back to this page. Fuller tables and vacancy rules live on the original Politics Elections pages linked below.
How to Use These Maps
The maps may be used in news articles, newsletters, classrooms and social posts at no charge. Keep the credit “Map: Politics Elections” visible, including the line already printed on each image, and include a link to this page. The state boundaries come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s public-domain cartographic files. Use of a map is not an endorsement by Politics Elections of any candidate, party or argument.
A short credit line that meets those terms:
Map: Politics Elections (https://politicselections.com/2028-election-maps-data-pack/)2028 Senate Map
The regular 2028 Senate map includes 34 Class III seats, scheduled for election on Nov. 7, 2028, with terms beginning Jan. 3, 2029. As of Nov. 11, 2026, the U.S. Senate lists 19 Republicans and 15 Democrats serving in those seats, according to its Class III directory. There are no independents in the class.
Florida’s Ashley Moody and Ohio’s Jon Husted hold their seats by appointment and were sworn in on Jan. 21, 2025, according to the Congressional Record. Both states held special elections on Nov. 3, 2026; those results had not been certified as of Nov. 11. Florida’s Elections Canvassing Commission is scheduled to meet on Nov. 17, and Ohio county boards must finish their official canvass by Nov. 24, before the statewide canvass. This map shades the senator now seated and does not name a special-election winner. The full roster is on the 2028 Senate map of every Class III seat.

</figure>2028 Senate Open Seats
As of Nov. 11, 2026, none of the 34 Class III senators has officially announced a retirement, and none of those seats is vacant. A seat is marked open on this map only after an on-the-record retirement announcement or a vacancy. Speculation and “undecided” comments do not count. Florida and Ohio are striped for the same pending special-election certifications described above; the shading shows the senator now seated, not an open seat.
The 2028 Senate open-seat map also explains how each Class III state fills a vacancy.

</figure>2028 Secretary of State Races
Seven states elect a secretary of state in 2028: Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia. Democrats hold four of those offices and Republicans three, as of Nov. 11, 2026, according to the National Association of Secretaries of State membership directory. Montana’s office is open because Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen, who took office Jan. 4, 2021, according to the Montana Secretary of State, is term-limited under the Montana Constitution.
Vermont elects the office every two years under Chapter II, Section 43 of its constitution. The official Vermont Secretary of State results page still labeled the 2026 general election results unofficial as of Nov. 11, 2026, so this map does not apply a 2026 outcome. It shades the officeholder now serving and stripes Vermont on that basis. The office is on the 2028 ballot either way.
| State | Officeholder now serving | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Missouri | Denny Hoskins (R) | On the 2028 ballot |
| Montana | Christi Jacobsen (R) | Term-limited; open seat |
| North Carolina | Elaine Marshall (D) | On the 2028 ballot |
| Oregon | Tobias Read (D) | On the 2028 ballot |
| Vermont | Sarah Copeland Hanzas (D) | Official 2026 results page still unofficial |
| Washington | Steve Hobbs (D) | On the 2028 ballot |
| West Virginia | Kris Warner (R) | On the 2028 ballot |
