The 2024 United States state legislative elections were held on November 5, 2024, for 85 state legislative chambers in 44 states. Across the fifty states, approximately 65 percent of all upper house seats and 85 percent of all lower house seats were up for election. Nine legislative chambers in the five permanently inhabited U.S. territories and the federal district of Washington, D.C., also held elections. The elections take place concurrently with several other federal, state, and local elections, including the presidential election, U.S. Senate elections, U.S. House elections, and gubernatorial elections.
Prior to the election, Republicans controlled 56 legislative chambers, while Democrats controlled 41. Both chambers of the Alaska Legislature were controlled by bipartisan coalitions. The states of Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania were expected to hold the most competitive elections for legislative control. [2] Additionally, court-ordered redistricting in Wisconsin was expected to lead to Democratic gains in both chambers of the Wisconsin Legislature. [3] Favorable redistricting from Montana's independent redistricting commission was also expected to lead to Democratic gains in that state. [4]
Despite Republican nominee Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election, Republicans made very modest gains in state legislative chambers across the country, flipping one chamber and forcing a tie in another.
Regularly scheduled elections were held in 85 of the 99 state legislative chambers in the United States. Nationwide, regularly scheduled elections were held for 5,809 of the 7,383 legislative seats. Many legislative chambers held elections for all seats, but some legislative chambers that use staggered elections held elections for only a portion of the total seats in the chamber. The chambers not up for election either hold regularly scheduled elections in odd-numbered years or have four-year terms and hold all regularly scheduled elections in presidential midterm election years. [5]
Note that this table only covers regularly scheduled elections; additional special elections took place concurrently with these regularly scheduled elections.

A number of states underwent mid-decade redistricting prior to the 2024 elections. Some states only changed a few districts, while others implemented entirely new maps. In Georgia, Michigan and North Dakota, and Washington, judges ruled that certain districts violated the Voting Rights Act. Georgia [6] and Michigan [7] failed to protect African American communities of interest while North Dakota [8] and Washington [9] failed to protect Native American and Hispanic communities of interest respectively.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court flipped from a conservative to a liberal majority in 2023, directly leading to the overturning of the state's legislative districts in Clarke v. Wisconsin Elections Commission. [10] The legislature then passed new maps drawn by Democratic governor Tony Evers to avoid the possibility of the courts imposing their own maps. [11] In Ohio, the state had to draw new legislative maps due to the Ohio Supreme Court repeatedly striking down maps prior to the 2022 elections. The state's seven-member politician commission unanimously passed new maps despite the commission's two Democratic members considering the maps to still be unfair. [12]
Montana held its elections under new lines drawn by the state's independent redistricting commission. Unlike every other state, Montana does not implement new legislative districts until the fourth year following the census. [13] The North Carolina Supreme Court, which flipped to Republican control in 2022, overturned its previous ruling prohibiting partisan gerrymandering, enabling the Republican-controlled legislature to pass new maps seen as highly favorable to them. [14] As part of the litigation in a racial gerrymandering case in South Carolina, which primarily concerned the state's first congressional district, the plaintiffs in the case agreed to drop their challenge to the state House's map in exchange for the legislature passing changes to a small set of districts. Though this occurred in 2022, the new maps did not take effect until 2024. [15]
New legislative maps in Montana and Wisconsin were expected to lead to large Democratic gains in both houses of each state's legislature. [3] [4]
Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive chambers. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the party, the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each chambers, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that election.
Analysts' predictions for competitive state legislative chambers largely mirrored the states they considered competitive in the presidential election, with some exceptions. Presidential battlegrounds Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina were not considered competitive due to heavy gerrymandering in each state, [16] [17] while both legislative chambers in Alaska, Minnesota, [h] and New Hampshire were considered competitive despite not being characterized as presidential battlegrounds. [18] In line with national predictions of an unpredictable and competitive presidential election, many analysts, including Louis Jacobson of Sabato's Crystal Ball saw neither party as having a distinct advantage towards making gains at the state legislative level, although others, including CNalysis, gave Democrats a slight edge in both net seat gain and net chamber gain, owed in part to favorable redistricting. [18] [19]

Despite Republican nominee Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election, Republicans made very modest gains in state legislative chambers across the country, a net gain of just over 50 seats. These gains were hampered by Democratic redistricting-based gains Montana and Wisconsin. [23] Republicans only flipped the Michigan House of Representatives from Democrats, while the Minnesota House of Representatives went from Democratic-controlled to tied. The net changes in both chamber control and overall seat control were well below average for state legislative elections during the 21st century. [24] Twenty eight state legislative chambers which held elections saw no change in partisan composition, and only seven states saw a net shift of over five legislative seats towards one party, a drop of nearly 50% in both metrics from the 2022 elections. [23]
A number of statehouses saw dramatic shifts through primary elections in addition to the general election. In the Texas House of Representatives, conservative Republicans ousted over a dozen opponents of school voucher legislation and targeted those who voted in favor of the impeachment of attorney general Ken Paxton. These primaries, bolstered by Republican gains in the general election, gave the pro-voucher coalition a majority in the chamber for the first time. [25] [26] In the Wyoming House of Representatives, the far-right Freedom Caucus gained a majority in the chamber through the Republican primary election. [27] Progressive Democrats gained ground in Delaware and New Mexico, but they lost ground in Colorado as a result of Democratic primary elections. These shifts were considered much more minor than the shifts seen in Republican-controlled chambers. [23]
Despite this, supermajorities were broken in several chambers: Republicans broke the Democratic supermajorities in both houses of the Vermont General Assembly, the Nevada Assembly, and the New York State Senate; while Democrats broke Republican supermajorities in the North Carolina House of Representatives, both chambers of the Montana Legislature, and the Wisconsin Senate. Additionally, supermajorities were obtained in other chambers: Democrats obtained supermajorities in both houses of the Oregon Legislative Assembly; while Republicans did so in the Iowa House of Representatives, the South Carolina Senate, and the New Hampshire Senate. [28]
Following the election, two Democratic members of the Florida House of Representatives announced that they would be switching parties and joining the Republicans. Representative Susan Valdes cited a desire to work with as a part of the majority for her switch, while Hillary Cassel cited her unequivocal support for the state of Israel. The state had grown increasingly Republican in the prior years, culminating in Donald Trump's landslide victory in the state in the concurrent presidential election, including in Valdes’ district.

Half of the seats of the Alaska Senate and all of the seats of the Alaska House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. The Alaska Senate and the Alaska House of Representatives were controlled by coalitions of Democrats, Republicans, and independents. The Democratic-led coalition in the Senate maintained control, but it lost seats to the conservative Republican minority. A Democratic-led coalition won control of the House of Representatives over the previous Republican-led coalition. [31]

All of the seats of the Arizona Senate and the Arizona House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. Republicans slightly expanded their narrow majorities in both chambers despite heavy Democratic spending amid hopes of winning control for the first time since the 1960s. This pushed the majority further towards the far-right, setting up even more hostilities between them and Democratic governor Katie Hobbs, who had vetoed more than 200 bills passed by the previous legislature.

Half of the seats of the Colorado Senate and all of the seats of the Colorado House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. An unusually expensive primary election led to a slight shift towards the political center among Democratic candidates. [35] In the general election, Democrats failed to gain a supermajority in the Senate, and a series of recounts eventually led to Republicans flipping three seats in the House, breaking the Democratic supermajority in that chamber as well.

Half of the seats of the Delaware State Senate and all of the Delaware House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. In the primary election, House speaker Valerie Longhurst lost renomination to a progressive challenger. [38] In the general election, Democrats maintained their supermajority in the Senate and slightly expanded their majority in the House. They had targeted four Republican-held House seats, but they only flipped one, gaining the three-fifths supermajority required to overturn gubernatorial vetoes but not the two-thirds supermajority required to unilaterally pass constitutional amendments.

Half of the seats of the Florida Senate and all of the seats of the Florida House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. Republicans maintained their historically-large supermajorities of both chambers, slightly expanding their margin in the House. This included the defeat of a Democrat who had just flipped a seat in a special election earlier in the year, which had buoyed the party's hopes of rolling back the gains Republicans had made in recent years. Several of the other Democratic losses came by very narrow margins. [40]
After the election, two Democratic House members switched parties and joined the Republicans, further inflating their supermajority in the chamber. [29] [30]

All of the seats of the Idaho Senate and the Idaho House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. Conflict within the Idaho Republican Party's freedom caucus and more moderate wing led to a high number of primary challenges. These challenges resulted in modest gains for the freedom caucus, including the ouster of Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Winder.

Half of the seats of the Iowa Senate and all of the seats of the Iowa House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. Despite both parties flipping seats in each chamber, Republicans netted seats in both chambers, expanding their supermajority in the Senate and gaining in the House. Having essentially wiped out every remaining rural Democrat in previous elections, Republican gains were concentrated more in the state's urban areas where Democrats strength remains steady. The results gave Republicans their largest majority in either chamber since 1970. [48]

All of the seats of the Kansas Senate and the Kansas House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. Despite heavy investment from Democrats and hopes of breaking the Republican supermajority in either chamber to strengthen the veto power of Democratic governor Laura Kelly, Republicans made gains in both chambers, instead. The expanded majorities further weakened Democratic leverage, which often relied on small numbers of moderate Republicans siding with them, empowering the more conservative Republicans instead. [49] This allowed for the passage of a constitutional amendment calling for the direct election of the Kansas Supreme Court, removing that power from the governor, long a priority of the conservative wing of the party.

All of the seats of the Michigan House of Representatives were up for election in 2024; the Michigan Senate did not hold regularly scheduled elections.

[55] They used this newfound power to roll back many of the policies enacted by former Republican governor Rick Snyder, including the state's right-to-work law and the repealing of the prevailing wage. [56] A federal judge had ordered the redrawing of a number of districts in Detroit over allegations that the state's independent redistricting commission had unlawfully diluted the voting power of the city's Black voters.

DFLers had won a government trifecta in the state in the 2022 elections, and they leveraged this to pass a slew of progressive legislation. This included expansions of abortion rights, a progressive child tax credit, and universal free school meals. [58] Republicans gained 3 seats in the House, tying the chamber. Two DFL-won seats became vacant after the election, giving Republicans a numerical majority when the legislative session started. DFL legislators boycotted the session, but they eventually returned and negotiated a power-sharing deal that allowed Republican Lisa Demuth to be elected Speaker, ending the DFL trifecta. [59]

[61] Aided by the new maps, Democrats broke the Republicans' legislative supermajority in both chambers, although Republicans still maintained control.

Nebraska is the only U.S. state with a unicameral legislature; half of the seats of the Nebraska Legislature were up for election in 2024. Nebraska's legislature is officially non-partisan and holds non-partisan elections, although the Democratic and Republican parties each endorse legislative candidates. Republicans gained a supermajority in the chamber earlier in the year when a socially-conservative Democrat switched parties, and Republican-endorsed candidates maintained it in the election, allowing them to overcome a legislative filibuster to pass legislation without Democratic support.

Half of the seats of the Ohio Senate and all of the seats of the Ohio House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. The elections took place on new maps passed by Ohio's bipartisan redistricting commission after the state Supreme Court had repeatedly struck down the legislature's maps in the leadup to the 2022 election. The maps passed the commission unanimously, ensuring their effectiveness through the end of the decade. While the new maps were more favorable to Democrats than previous ones, Republicans still held a significant electoral advantage on them. [12]
Republicans maintained control of both chambers, but Democrats made minor gains in each, reducing Republicans' supermajority in the House. Although Ohio Republicans won enough seats to overturn a gubernatorial veto, they no longer held the two-thirds majority needed in the House to unilaterally craft legislation. [75]

Half of the seats of the Texas Senate and all of the seats of the Texas House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. Republicans currently control both chambers. Texas House Republicans have experienced considerable intraparty strife over issues such as school vouchers and the 2023 impeachment of Ken Paxton, the state's attorney general. Retirements and primary battles left over 30 seats open for the general election. [94] [25] Republicans made minor gains in both legislative chambers, flipping two House seats and one Senate seat in the heavily Hispanic and historically-Democratic Rio Grande Valley. [26]
The elected legislature would eventually pass school voucher legislation among many other conservative priorities. [95] Later, they would pass legislation to redraw the state's congressional districts at the request of Donald Trump, kicking off a nationwide flurry of mid-decade redistricting. [96]

All of the seats of the Vermont Senate and the Vermont House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. Republicans made significant gains in both legislative chambers, breaking the Democratic supermajorities in each. [98] Democrats lost more legislative seats in Vermont than in any other state in the country despite Kamala Harris' landslide victory in the state in the concurrent presidential election. Republican governor Phil Scott, who also won re-election in a landslide, campaigned heavily for downballot Republicans, tapping into voter discontent with issues such as housing affordability, school funding, and rising taxes.

Half of the seats of the Washington State Senate and all of the seats of the Washington House of Representatives were up for election in 2024. Minor, but highly controversial, redistricting took place in central Washington after a federal judge ordered it over allegations of dilution of Hispanic voting power in the region. [9] Despite one of the newly-redrawn districts ostensibly favoring Democrats much more than before, Republicans swept the Senate and both House races in the district, leading to no net change as a result of the redistricting. [100] Democrats made gains in other parts of the state, however, flipping one seat in each chamber. [101] [102]

Half of the seats of the Wisconsin Senate and all of the seats of the Wisconsin State Assembly were up for election in 2024. Redistricting ordered by the Wisconsin Supreme Court completely reshuffled the state's legislative districts, leaving dozens of seats across both chambers with no incumbents. The new maps were considered more favorable to Democrats than the previous maps. [104] Aided by this favorable redistricting, Democrats made significant gains in both legislative chambers, breaking the supermajority in the Senate, though Republicans still maintained legislative control.

There were fifty-four state legislative special elections scheduled for 2024. [109] Democrats gained a net of one seat in special elections prior to the November general election, picking up a seat in the Alabama House of Representatives and the Florida House of Representatives. [110] [111] Republicans gained one seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives as well. Democrats gained a seat in the North Dakota House of Representatives and a seat in the North Dakota Senate in elections that were held concurrently with the general election. [112]
Additional special elections proved decisive in determining control of multiple legislative chambers. Special election victories enabled Democrats to retain control of the Michigan House of Representatives and the Pennsylvania House of Representatives multiple times throughout the year. [113] [114] [115] Republicans additionally maintained control of the New Hampshire House of Representatives through the numerous special elections held in the state. A competitive November special election in for the Minnesota Senate, which did not hold regularly scheduled elections in 2024, reaffirmed Democrats' control of that chamber through the 2026 election.
