2020 West Virginia House of Delegates election

Elections to the West Virginia House of Delegates took place on November 3, 2020. All the seats in the West Virginia House of Delegates were up for election.

Overview
The Republican Party, cementing their hold over West Virginia state politics, made a gain of 18 seats in the House of Delegates, holding over three-fourths of the chamber's seats and achieving supermajority status. The scope of the Republicans' gains, which swept many traditionally Democratic areas, was unexpected on both sides of the aisle, with both Democrats and Republicans expressing surprise at the results. The election, further eroding the Democrats' caucus in the House, is a part of a decades-long shift in power statewide from Democrats to Republicans.

Speaker election
On January 13, 2021, the first regular session of the 85th West Virginia Legislature convened, and the election of the speaker took place. 98 delegates voted, while two were not counted as present in the roll call. From the majority caucus, incumbent speaker Roger Hanshaw was nominated by Kayla Kessinger, and seconded by Jeffrey Pack. Doug Skaff, the new Democratic leader, was nominated by Brent Boggs, and was seconded by Lisa Zukoff. On a vote along party lines, Hanshaw was elected with the support of 76 delegates, including then-Democrat Mick Bates, while Skaff received 22 votes.
