Alabama State Legislature

Every member of the Alabama state legislature was up for election in 2018. Both state senators and state representatives serve four-year terms in Alabama. After the 2014 elections, Republicans maintained control of both chambers. In 2018, all 35 Alabama Senate seats and all 105 Alabama House of Representatives seats were up for election. These seats will not be contested in a regularly-scheduled election again until 2022.

The outcome of this election could affect partisan balance during post-2020 census redistricting.[16]

Senate

Republicans won 27 while Democrats won 8 seats. The Republican Party gained 1 seat, the 29th, which was held by an retiring independent who caucused with the Republicans.

House of Representatives

Republicans won 77 seats while Democrats won 28 seats. The Republican Party gained 5 seats.

United States House of Representatives

All of Alabama's seven seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for election in 2018. 6 Republicans and 1 Democrat were re-elected. No districts changed partisan control.
