This article lists estimated canvassing and election result certification dates for 2018. In a canvass, election officials verify that each ballot cast in the election was correctly counted. Certification is the practice by which the results of an election are made official. The two processes are closely related. Official results will be added here once they become available. The table below can be sorted by state or date; to sort, click the arrows in the appropriate column heading.[1][2]
