One-third of the US Senate is up for grabs, as well as the entire House of Representatives. That amounts to 34 seats in Congress's upper chamber and 435 in the lower one.
The founding fathers based Senate elections on a three-class system, resulting in a staggered election process that ensures stability in US politics.
Senators remain in their posts every time a national election happens, while members of the House, serving two-year terms, face more frequent re-election.
The Democratic Party currently has a thin grip on the Senate, highlighting the political stakes involved in these contested seats this election cycle.
