The 2026 United States state legislative elections will be held on November 3, 2026, for 88 state legislative chambers in 46 states.^[2] Across the fifty states, approximately 60 percent of upper house seats and 92 percent of lower house seats will be up for election. Additionally, six territorial chambers will be up in four territories and the District of Columbia. These elections will take place concurrently with other state and local elections, including gubernatorial elections in multiple states.

The 2026 state legislative elections will be held as part of the midterm elections during the second presidency of Donald Trump. Republicans had seen very modest coattails in the 2024 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.^[3] Democrats performed very well in the 2025 elections, making substantial gains in Virginia and New Jersey and performing very well in special elections.^[4] Entering 2026, Republicans fully control 23 state governments, Democrats control 16, with 11 states under split control.

Four incumbent state legislators have switched 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'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.

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 potential wave election to win control of these chambers and break Republican supermajorities in others.^[9]

Ratings are designated as follows:

• "Tossup": Competitive, no advantage
• "Lean": Competitive, slight advantage
• "Likely": Not competitive, but opposition could make significant gains
• "Safe" or "Solid": Not competitive at all

All of the seats of the Alabama Legislature are up for election. Both chambers have been controlled by the Republican Party since 2011. The Senate election will take place under slightly different maps from the 2022 election after a federal judge overturned two Montgomery-area districts over vote dilution concerns. The new map includes an additional majority-Black district there.^[11]
