Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Nevada in 2024. Information below was calculated on May 29, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
There were 52 state legislative seats up for election in Nevada in 2024. Across those, 12 incumbents (nine Democrats and three Republicans) did not file to run for re-election. That was below the average number of retirements per election cycle since Ballotpedia began tracking this data in 2010 (15.9). In 2022, 19 incumbents (seven Democrats and 12 Republicans) did not run for re-election.
Eight incumbents out of the 37 running (21.6%) faced primary challengers. That is lower than the average number of contested incumbents in primary elections since 2010 (10.3). The year with the highest number of contested incumbents was 2016 when 17 of 41 incumbents (41.5%) faced primary opponents. The year with the fewest was 2010, when five of 26 incumbents (19.2%) faced primary opponents.
The total number of contested primaries (with more than one candidate) was 33 (16 Democratic and 17 Republican). This was lower than the average number of contested primaries from 2010-2022 (37.7). In total, 31.7% of Nevada state legislative primaries in 2024 were contested - lower than the average rate of contested primaries from 2010-2022 (35.9). </noinclude>

Footnotes
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.

If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
