States where one party gained seats in both chambers

There were 19 states where either Democrats, Republicans, or both had a net gain of state legislative seats in both state legislative chambers. Democrats had a net gain in both legislative chambers of six states. Republicans had a net gain in both legislative chambers of 15 states. This analysis includes seats vacant at the time of the election as its own category. This means a party may be recorded as gaining a seat that was most recently held by a member of the same party if that seat was vacant at the time of the election.

The table below shows these states and the net gains made by each party in both state legislative chambers. Democratic gains are shown on the left. Republican gains are shown on the right.

Flipped seats

Each state legislative district that changed partisan control in regularly-scheduled elections in November 2020 is shown below. Multi-member districts in which multiple seats changed hands are listed once for each seat. If a candidate of the same name appears in both the "Pre-election incumbent" and "Winner, 2020" columns, he or she ran under a different party affiliation in 2020 compared to his or her previous election. Incumbents in states with fusion voting who ran and won re-election in 2020 with additional, new partisan affiliations are not listed if they also won re-election under their previous partisan affiliation.
