2023 Virginia House of Delegates election Turnout 39% 15.9[1] Results: Democratic hold Democratic gain Republican hold Republican gain
The 2023 Virginia House of Delegates election took place on November 7, 2023, concurrently with elections for the Virginia Senate , to elect members of the 163rd Virginia General Assembly . All 100 delegates were elected to two-year terms from single-member districts . Nomination primaries held through the Department of Elections were held June 20, 2023.[3] Democrats gained 3 seats, winning back control with a 51-49 majority after having previously lost it in 2021 .[4]
Background [ edit ] Following the 2021 election , Republicans regained control of the House of Delegates that was lost to the Democrats in 2019 . They controlled a narrow majority of 52 seats prior to the 2023 election.[5]
After the 2022 General Assembly session, House Democrats voted via a secret ballot to remove former speaker and then-minority leader Eileen Filler-Corn from the top of party leadership.[6] House Democrats would replace Filler-Corn with Don Scott as the new minority leader.[7]
The 2023 election was the first held under new district maps following redistricting as a result of the 2020 census .[8] In 2020 , voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to create an independent redistricting committee. This committee ultimately failed to agree on a newly drawn map.[9] The districts delegates ran in were created by two special masters appointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia .[10]
