- Source: 2023 Virginia House of Delegates election
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. Democrats gained 3 seats, winning back control with a 51–49 majority after having previously lost it in 2021.
Background
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.
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. House Democrats would replace Filler-Corn with Don Scott as the new minority leader.
The 2023 election was the first held under new district maps following redistricting as a result of the 2020 census. 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. The districts delegates ran in were created by two special masters appointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia.
Governor Glenn Youngkin sought a Republican trifecta, already having control of the House of Delegates after the 2021 election, he sought to hold the House and flip Virginia's Senate to enact his conservative agenda over Democratic objections. However, this is the first state-level election in Virginia following the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision the previous year, which ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right in the United States. This cost the GOP the red wave in the 2022 midterms the previous year, forcing the party to accept a smaller-than-expected majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and face continued Democratic control of the U.S. Senate during the 118th United States Congress. Youngkin attempted to change Republican messaging on abortion by proposing a 15-week abortion "limit" instead of using the word "ban", hoping his abortion plan would come across as sensible to Virginia voters, but it backfired. Democrats recaptured control of the House of Delegates, flipping three seats. Democrats also maintained their majority in the Senate, re-establishing unified Democratic rule of the Virginia legislature.
