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.

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>
