In 2023, there were 26 elections across the United States that resulted in a tie, with another seven being decided by one vote. Pennsylvania led the nation with seven tied elections.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) announced the 2023 data on March 25. PILF researchers reported that there have been 602 ties and 146 elections decided by a single vote since the foundation began collecting nationwide information in 2002.
