Theseelections will take place concurrently with otherstate and local elections, includinggubernatorial elections in multiple states.
The 2026 state legislative elections will be held as part of themidterm elections during thesecond presidency ofDonald Trump. Republicans had seen very modestcoattails in the2024 legislative elections, flipping a net of just over 50 seats from the Democrats and breaking Democratictrifectas in two states, but establishing no new trifectas of their own.[3] Democrats performed very well in the2025 elections, making substantial gains inVirginia andNew Jersey and performing very well inspecial elections.[4] Entering 2026, Republicans fully control 23 state governments, Democrats control 16, with 11 states under split control.
Two incumbent state legislators haveswitched political parties during 2026.

Regularly scheduled elections will be held in 88 of the 99 state legislative chambers in the United States. Nationwide, regularly scheduled elections will be held for 6,064 of the 7,383 legislative seats. Most legislative chambers will hold elections for all seats, but some legislative chambers that use staggered elections hold elections for only a portion of the total seats in the chamber. The chambers that are 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 election years.
Note that this table only covers regularly scheduled elections; additional special elections will likely take place concurrently with these regularly scheduled elections.

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'sCook 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.
Early predictions see a slightly more competitive state legislative landscape than at this point in previous election cycles, with most of the competitive being Republican-held. Democrats hope to capitalize on a potentialwave election to win control of these chambers and break Republicansupermajorities in others.[7]
