In the 2022 elections, Democrats retained control of the U.S. Senate, winning 51 seats in the chamber to Republicans' 49. Republicans gained control of the U.S. House, winning 222 seats to Democrats' 213.

Of the thirty-six states that held elections for governor, four offices changed party hands. Partisan control changed from Republican to Democratic in Arizona, Maryland, and Massachusetts. Partisan control changed from Democratic to Republican in Nevada, where incumbent Governor Steve Sisolak (D) was the only incumbent governor to lose re-election in 2022.

Eighty-eight of the country's 99 state legislative chambers were up for election across 46 states. Democrats gained control of four chambers—the Michigan House and Senate, Minnesota Senate, and Pennsylvania House, and a bipartisan coalition gained control of the Alaska State Senate.

State government trifecta status changed in six states. In Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Minnesota, divided governments became Democratic trifectas. In Nevada, the Democratic trifecta became a divided government. In Arizona, the Republican trifecta became a divided government.

Twenty-five states held state supreme court elections on November 8. Republicans gained three seats—two in North Carolina and one in Kentucky—and a Democrat gained one seat in Illinois. As a result, Republicans gained a majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court, and Democrats gained no new majorities.

  • Twenty-five states held state supreme court elections on November 8, accounting for 70 (20%) of the nation’s 344 state supreme court seats. Heading into the election, Republicans had majorities on 26 state supreme courts, Democrats controlled 17, and control of the nine remaining courts was either split between parties or unclear. Republicans gained three seats—two in North Carolina and one in Kentucky—and a Democrat gained one seat in Illinois. As a result, Republicans gained a majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court, and Democrats gained no new majorities. After the election, Democrats will hold majorities on 16 courts, Republicans will hold majorities on 27, and the remaining nine courts’ majorities will either be split between parties or unclear. (Texas and Oklahoma both have two courts of last resort.)
  • Heading into the 2022 election, there were 23 Republican trifectas, 14 Democratic trifectas, and 13 states with divided governments where neither party held trifecta control. As a result of the 2022 elections, there were 22 Republican trifectas, 17 Democratic trifectas, and 11 divided governments where neither party had trifecta control. Trifecta status changed in six states. In Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Minnesota, divided governments became Democratic trifectas. In Nevada, the Democratic trifecta became a divided government. In Arizona, the Republican trifecta became a divided government.
  • Voters decided 132 statewide ballot measures in 37 states. As of November 23, 90 (68.2%) statewide ballot measures were approved and 42 (31.8%) were defeated.
    • There were six ballot measures addressing abortion—the most on record for a single year. Before 2022, the highest number of abortion-related measures in a single year was four in 1986. Voters approved ballot measures establishing a state constitutional right to abortion in California, Michigan, and Vermont. In Kentucky, voters rejected a constitutional amendment that would have declared that the Kentucky Constitution cannot be interpreted to establish a right to abortion. In Montana, voters rejected LR-131, which would have enacted a law called the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, which would have required medical care to be provided to infants born alive by classifying a born-alive infant as "a legal person for all purposes under the laws of the state ... entitled to the protections of the laws, including the right to appropriate and reasonable medical care and treatment."
    • This year, five states decided on marijuana legalization ballot measures. Heading into November, marijuana was legal in 19 states and D.C. Of those 19 states, 13 and D.C. had legalized marijuana through ballot measures. Voters in Maryland and Missouri approved legalization ballot measures. Voters in Arkansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota rejected their measures.
    • Voters in six states decided on ballot measures to change voting-related policies. Topics included ranked-choice voting, early voting, absentee voting, voter identification, and more.
    • The results of notable ballot measures are displayed in the tables below. A full breakdown of statewide ballot measure election results can be found here.

Types of elections

Ballotpedia covers the following types of elections at the federal, state, and local levels.

Federal

State

Local

  • Comprehensive ballot coverage for municipal elections in the top 100 U.S. cities by population, including races for the large counties that overlap them, as well as coverage of mayoral, city council, and district attorney elections in state capitals outside of the top 100 cities
  • Local trial courts with jurisdictions overlapping the top 100 cities by population
  • All local ballot measures in California, as well as ballot measures within the top 100 cities by population

Expanded local coverage

Ballotpedia is currently expanding its local election coverage on a state-by-state basis to provide information on the more than 500,000 local elected offices nationwide. This expansion included 18,946 elections in 2022 and 12,626 in 2023 with a goal of 25,000 in 2024.

This expanded coverage of local elections beyond the scope described above includes:

  • Election dates
  • Office names
  • Lists of candidates
  • Additional information as available

This expanded coverage does not include election results unless otherwise specified. Additionally, this expanded coverage does not follow candidates after the election as officeholders and instead focuses on providing information to voters about the candidates on their ballots.

You can use Ballotpedia's sample ballot tool to see what local elections we are covering in your area.

How we decide when to call an election

See also: How we decide when to call an election

Ballotpedia uses two standard criteria when deciding whether to project the outcome of an election:

1.) Type of office

2.) Battleground status

For the first criterion, we make a distinction between top-ballot offices and down-ballot offices. Top-ballot offices include U.S. president, U.S. Congress, and state governor. Down-ballot offices include all other elected state, local, and territorial positions.

For the second criterion, we make a distinction between battleground elections and standard elections. We define a battleground election as one that is particularly competitive or that may have a meaningful effect on the balance of power in government. All other elections receive the standard status.

Based on the above criteria, we take the following approaches when deciding whether to project an election outcome:

  • Top-ballot office, battleground status: Ballotpedia will not project a winner for these elections until there is a consensus projection made by a pool of three national news outlets (FOX, NBC, and NYT). If some but not all of these outlets have called the election, or if all of the outlets have called the election but there is not a consensus on the outcome, Ballotpedia will refrain from projecting the election winner but will publish the calls made by each individual outlet until a consensus has been reached. Vote totals will be updated for these elections on a daily basis until the outcome has been projected, and then again once results have been certified.
  • Top-ballot office, standard status: Ballotpedia will not project a winner for these elections until there is a consensus projection made by a pool of three national news outlets (FOX, NBC, and NYT). If some but not all of these outlets have called the election, or if all of the outlets have called the election but there is not a consensus on the outcome, Ballotpedia will refrain from projecting the election winner. Vote totals will be updated for these elections on a daily basis until the outcome has been projected, and then again once results have been certified.
  • Down-ballot office, battleground status: Ballotpedia will not project a winner for these elections until there is a consensus projection made by two credible media outlets covering the election. If one but not both of these outlets have called the election, or if both outlets have called the election but there is not a consensus on the outcome, Ballotpedia will refrain from projecting the election winner but will publish the calls made by each individual outlet until a consensus has been reached. Vote totals will be updated for these elections once when the election has been called and again when the results have been certified.
  • Down-ballot office, standard status: Ballotpedia will not project a winner for these elections until a credible media outlet covering the election has called it or at least 95% of precincts are fully reporting and the candidate has a winning margin of at least 5 percentage points or at least 95% of ballots are counted and the candidate has a winning margin of at least 5 percentage points. If an election does not meet either criterion, Ballotpedia will refrain from projecting its winner until certified results are released. Otherwise, vote totals will be updated for these elections once when the election has been called and again when the results have been certified.

For top-ballot offices, we selected three prominent news outlets that freely released their election calls in the 2018 midterm elections. Note that some outlets not listed, such as the Associated Press, only release their full list of election projections to paid partners.

If an election is uncontested, the candidate running unopposed will be marked as the projected winner following the election instead of being subjected to this criteria.

In the event that there is no consensus but certified results have been published by the relevant government election office, Ballotpedia will call the election in accordance with the certified results. However, if a candidate officially requests a recount or if the results are disputed in court, Ballotpedia will note above the vote totals that the election's outcome is pending the outcome of the lawsuit or recount.

Although the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories elect non-voting officials to the U.S. Congress, those offices are treated by this policy as down-ballot.

This policy is subject to change if new information emerges. Click here to read more about Ballotpedia's editorial approach to election coverage.
