The 221st New Jersey Legislature began on January 9, 2024, following the 2023 elections for Assembly and Senate. It will end January 13, 2026.
This will be the first session of the state legislature where legislators will represent districts in the new legislative map that will be used until the 2031 election cycle. [5]
The members of the Assembly will serve two-year terms through the end of the legislative session in January 2026 while members of the Senate elected in 2023 will serve four-year terms that will expire in January 2028 at the conclusion of the 222nd legislative session.
Of the 120 members of the legislature in the 220th legislative session, a third of them (40 members) will have changed from that legislative term to this one, the highest turnover rate in several years. This does include six legislators who are moving up from the Assembly to the Senate. The rest of those 40 officeholders either did not run for re-election (some of which were to run for other elected offices not in the state legislature and others were due to the loss of party support as part of redistricting) or lost re-election in the primary election in June 2023 or the general election in November 2023.
