The 2022 Nevada Assembly election was held on November 8, 2022. The election coincided with elections for other offices including for governor, the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Nevada Senate. The Primary election was held on June 14, 2022.[1]

Despite Republicans winning 56% of the popular vote among all State Assembly Districts, Democrats gained 2 seats, winning a supermajority of 28 out of 42 seats. The discrepancy is explained by Democrats' not fielding a candidate in 7 safely Republican seats, lower turnout in Democratic-won districts, and Democratic gerrymandering.[2] Democrats won 83% of Assembly districts in Clark County with only 52% of the popular vote in the county.[3]
