Abstract

The next U.S. midterm elections are held in early November 2022. According to the US Constitution, voters will have to re-elect the House of Representatives (435 members), one-third of the Senate (33) of the U.S. Congress. Election campaigns will also take place in a number of states, where in some of them the fate of governors will be decided, and elected positions at the regional level of various branches of government. As always, there is a lot of work for American citizens on the electoral field, so the degree of tension is rising in the air regarding the very rules of procedure: how much voting will become fair and accessible to various segments of the electorate. Summing up and building, striving for the most approximate reality, forecasts regarding the results of the upcoming, in fact, the people's referendum on the "equatorial" period in power of the democratic administration of J. Biden. Players in the political field are engaged in an "inventory" of electoral resources, actualizing their capabilities, among which gender components occupy one of the most important niches in the political palette of American political life.
