Independent 2026 Election Projections
NBC News details independent Decision Desk strategy for upcoming 2026 primary elections.

NBC News says its Decision Desk will report 2026 primary results as election officials release them and independently project winners only when its analysis shows trailing candidates cannot catch up. Results will be gathered from the Associated Press, county- and precinct-level reporting, and state and county websites and feeds. The desk will check consistency across sources and compare results with past elections; projections are made independently of other outlets.
