Seat counts and control: National Conference of State Legislatures, state partisan composition (updated Oct 6, 2026), which can lag special elections; where a chamber’s official roster differs, the roster is used and marked. Which chambers hold elections in 2026 and the ratings: Louis Jacobson, Sabato’s Crystal Ball. Seats up in 2026 and presiding officers: Wikipedia, 2026 state legislative elections and each chamber’s article. Alaska’s coalitions: each chamber’s Ballotpedia page (checked Oct. 24, 2026). A majority is more than half of all seats; two-thirds is the vote most states require to override a governor’s veto. Nebraska’s unicameral legislature is nonpartisan.
