2022 United States state legislative elections

The 2022 United States state legislative elections were held on November 8, 2022, for 88 state legislative chambers in 46 states. Across the fifty states, approximately 56 percent of all upper house seats and 92 percent of all lower house seats were up for election. Additionally, six territorial chambers were up in four territories and the District of Columbia. These midterm elections coincided with other state and local elections, including gubernatorial elections in multiple states.

Prior to the elections, Democrats held 14 trifectas (control of the governor's office and legislative chambers), Republicans held 23 trifectas, and 13 states held a divided government. These were the first elections affected by the 2020 redistricting cycle, which reapportioned state legislatures based on data from the 2020 United States census. This is the first midterm election since 1934 in which the party of the incumbent president did not lose any state legislative chambers to the opposition. Democrats won a trifecta in Michigan for the first time since 1984.

The Democrats flipped the Minnesota Senate, Michigan Senate for the first time since 1984, Michigan House of Representatives, and Pennsylvania House of Representatives from Republican control, and established a coalition government in the Alaska Senate. Meanwhile, the Alaska House of Representatives switched from a Democratic-led coalition to a Republican-led coalition.

Further special elections on February 7, 2023, gave Democrats control of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Democrats had won control of the chamber in 2022, but vacancies prevented them from seating it until after the special elections.

Summary table
Regularly scheduled elections were held in 88 of the 99 state legislative chambers in the United States; nationwide, regularly-scheduled elections were held for 6,064 of the 7,383 legislative seats. Most legislative chambers held elections for all seats, but some legislative chambers that use staggered elections held elections for only a portion of the total seats in the chamber. The chambers that were not up for election either hold regularly-scheduled elections in odd-numbered years, or have four-year terms and hold all regularly-scheduled elections in presidential election years.

Note that this table only covers regularly-scheduled elections; additional special elections took place concurrently with these regularly-scheduled elections.

Election predictions
Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive chambers. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the party, the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each chambers, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that election.

Most election predictors use:
 * " Tossup ": No advantage
 * " Tilt ": Advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
 * " Lean ": Slight advantage
 * " Likely ": Significant, but surmountable, advantage
 * " Safe " or " Solid ": Near-certain chance of victory
