On November 3, 2020, 5,875 state legislative seats were up for regularly-scheduled elections across 86 of the nation's 99 state legislative chambers. As a result of the elections, control of 315 seats flipped from one party to another.

Republicans gained a net 141 seats in the 2020 elections, Democrats lost a net 133 seats, and independent and minor party candidates lost a net eight seats.[1] At least one flip occurred in every state holding regularly-scheduled state legislative elections except Hawaii.[2] Across all 7,383 state legislative seats, Republicans controlled 3,986 seats to Democrats’ 3,315 following the 2020 elections. Independent and minor party candidates controlled 72.[3]

New Hampshire had 50 seats flip, the most of any state. Forty-nine of those seats flipped to Republicans from Democrats (48) and a Libertarian (one). One seat flipped from Republicans to Democrats. West Virginia followed with 19 flips, 18 of which flipped to Republicans—17 from Democrats and one from an independent—and one of which flipped from Republicans to Democrats.

Of the 315 seats that flipped, 215 (68.3%) were Democratic seats that flipped to Republicans. Seventy-eight (24.8%) were Republican seats that flipped to Democrats.

As a result of Republican gains, two state legislative chambers flipped control in 2020, the lowest number of chamber flips since 1944, which saw four. Republicans gained control of both the New Hampshire House of Representatives and the New Hampshire State Senate. Following the 2020 elections, Republicans controlled 61 state legislative chambers and Democrats controlled 37.[4]

On this page, you will find a list of all state legislative seats where a partisan switch occurred.

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.

Leadership positions
  1. ↑ Net changes were calculated by assembling a list of legislators and their partisan affiliations who were in office at the time of the Nov. 2020 general election and comparing those to the winners of the general election. If a seat was vacant at the time of the election, it is not considered in this analysis even if the most recent officeholder was a different party than the winner of the general election.

    If a pre-election incumbent was a member of one party and then won re-election under a different party, that was counted as a party flip. However, in states with fusion voting, if a pre-election incumbent was a member of one party and then won re-election as a member of the same party in addition to new party affiliations, that was not counted as a party flip. In such states, if the pre-election incumbent was the member of a minor party and the post-election winner, a different candidate, ran and won with that minor party's nomination in addition to a major party nomination, that was counted as a flip to the major party.
  2. ↑ Alabama, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia did not hold regularly-scheduled state legislative elections in 2020.
  3. ↑ As of Jan. 13, 2021, eight seats were vacant and two races had not yet been called.
  4. ↑ Control of the Alaska House of Representatives remained to be determined as of Jan. 13, 2021.
  5. ↑ Cathy Nadeau, the winner in 2020, is not the same person as the previous incumbent, Catherine Nadeau.
  6. ↑ Burrows also ran as a Vermont Progressive Party candidate.
  7. ↑ White also ran as a Vermont Progressive Party candidate.
