No Kings network holds rallies across the US to encourage early voting ahead of November 2026 midterm elections
The No Kings network held hundreds of rallies across the United States on October 17, 2026, urging voters to cast ballots early ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. The events, billed as nonpartisan, built on nearly two years of anti-Trump demonstrations. The rallies came amid the Trump administration's lawsuit against California over mail-in ballots and Justice Department warnings to local election officials.
