Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Virginia in 2025. Information below was calculated on May 8, 2025, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Four of Virginia’s 100 state legislative seats up for election in 2025 were open, meaning no incumbent filed to run in the election.

This was the fewest for the state since Ballotpedia began tracking these figures in 2011, and newcomers were guaranteed at least 3% of the legislature. The average number of open state legislative seats in Virginia each election cycle between 2011 and 2023 was 17. 

Virginia had 17 contested state legislative primaries in 2025, down 64% from 2023. Of these, there were nine for Democrats and eight for Republicans. For Democrats, this was down from a high of 31 in 2023, a 71% decrease. Contested Republican primaries were down 50% from a high of 16 in 2023.

Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challenges, representing 3.1% of all incumbents who ran for re-election. Seventeen percent of incumbents who ran for re-election faced primary challenges last cycle. In total, 178 major party candidates filed to run: 102 Democrats and 76 Republicans.

House of Delegates

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Virginia House of Delegates from 2010 to 2025.[2]

Footnotes

  1. ↑ 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.
  2. ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. 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.
