Elections will be held concurrently with the 2026 US midterm election, as well as elections to the US House of Representatives, Washington State House, Washington Supreme Court, and various county and local offices.[3] Primary elections will be held on August 4, 2026 using a top-two primary where all candidates are listed on the same ballot and the two candidates with the most votes advance to the general election.[4][5]
This will be the first electoral cycle for this cohort of State Senators using the new legislative district boundaries after the court ordered redistricting in 2024. The redistricting was triggered when U.S. District Court Judge for the Western District of Washington Robert Lasnik ruled that the 15th District as it was drawn in 2022 was in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.[6] The seats up for election in the State Senate in 2026 that had boundary changes due to this redistricting are District 7, District 8, District 13, District 15, and District 31.[7]
Partisan background
Of the State Senate seats that are up for election in 2026, only the 35th District is held by a Republican in a legislative district that Kamala Harris won in 2024. In addition, of the districts with a Senator up for election in 2026, only the 26th District has a member of the State House from the same district who is of a different party than the incumbent State Senator.
All other districts up for election in 2026 are represented by the party whose presidential nominee carried the district in 2024 and are of the same political party as both members of the State House from their district.
| Harris 40–50% 50–60% 60–70% 70–80% 80–90% 90–100% |
Trump 40–50% 50–60% 60–70% |
On April 16th, 2026, the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) announced that they would be investing in Washington state legislative races to protect incumbents and flip seats. They did not announce investments in any specific races at that time.[8][9]
