The Associated Press has been calling races since 1848, determining winners using a comprehensive vote count compiled from state and local election offices nationwide.
On election night, the AP analyzes incoming votes at the county level to assess leads and project outcomes based on uncounted ballots and voter demographics.
Once a race is called by the AP, NPR alerts audiences through its broadcast and digital platforms, ensuring real-time access to election results.
The AP uses a variety of factors, such as outstanding ballots' origins and community makeup, to evaluate the likelihood of a candidate winning a contest.
