The 2025 United States state legislative elections will be held on November 4, 2025, for 2 state legislative chambers in 2 states. Across the fifty states, 3 percent of all lower house seats will be up for election, with no upper house having regularly scheduled elections. These elections take place concurrently with several other state and local elections, including the 2025 gubernatorial elections.

Background

[edit]

The 2025 state legislative elections are the first held during the second presidency of Donald Trump following his victory in the 2024 presidential election. Republicans saw very modest coattails in the concurrent legislative elections, flipping a net of just over 50 seats from the Democrats and breaking Democratic trifectas in two states, but establishing no new trifectas of their own. Entering 2025, Republicans fully control 23 state governments, Democrats control 15, with 12 states under split control. Only two states are holding regularly-scheduled legislative elections in 2025: New Jersey, which Democrats fully control, and Virginia, where Democrats control the legislature but not the governorship.[2]

Summary table

[edit]

Regularly scheduled elections are to be held in 2 of the 99 state legislative chambers in the United States. Nationwide, regularly scheduled elections are to be held for 180 of the 7,383 legislative seats. This table only covers regularly-scheduled elections; additional special elections will take place concurrently with these regularly scheduled elections.

Special elections

There are currently seventy-two state legislative special elections scheduled for 2025.[3] More than half of all states have procedures for special state legislative elections.[4] As of March 2025, only two seats, Iowa's 35th Senate District and Pennsylvania's 36th Senate District, have flipped parties; both seats went from a Republican Senator to a Democrat.[5][6] Democrats have additionally maintained their narrow control of the Minnesota Senate, Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Virginia Senate, and Virginia House of Delegates, through special election victories, as well as reaffirming the tie in the Minnesota House of Representatives.[7][8][9]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b The Minnesota House of Representatives became tied after the election, so it is not counted towards either total.
  2. ^ A coalition of 14 Democrats, 5 Independents, and 2 Republicans controls the Alaska House of Representatives. A coalition of 9 Democrats and 5 Republicans controls the Alaska Senate.[1]
  3. ^ The upper houses of Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Texas use a 2-4-4 term length system.

Fong attempted to withdraw from the State Assembly race, but per California law, his name could not be removed from the ballot. Despite unofficially dropping out of the race, Fong was re-elected to his State Assembly seat in the November 2024 general election, necessitating a special election.[20]
  5. ^ Governor Tim Walz previously scheduled the special election for January 28. However, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that it was called prematurely, prompting its rescheduling.[78]
