Nevada has four congressional districts that elect four delegates to the U.S. House of Representatives. Since the 2016 elections, three representatives have been Democratic.

State offices

State senate

10 of the 21 seats of the Nevada Senate were up for election. Both Republicans and Democrats flipped one seat. There was no change in partisan makeup of the chamber, and Democrats maintained the majority control of the Senate they have held since 2017.

All 42 seats of the Nevada Assembly were up for election. Democrats have retained a majority control of the assembly since 2017. Republicans made a gain of one seat and broke the Democratic two-thirds supermajority, but they were unable to make further gains.
