🔎About this data
As of 6 October 2026. Nebraska's one-house legislature is elected on a nonpartisan ballot (members' party affiliations are in the popup), so it counts as neither party. Alaska's chambers are run by bipartisan majority coalitions. Minnesota's House is tied 67-67. Seat counts exclude vacancies. Washington, DC has a mayor and council and is left unshaded.
