Democrats and Republicans both targeting Michigan state House in 2026

Elections for all 110 districts in the Michigan House of Representatives will take place on Nov. 3, 2026.

Ahead of the general elections, Republicans have a 58-52 majority in the chamber. Republicans won a majority in the chamber in 2024. Democrats need to win at least four districts in 2026 to gain control, and Republicans need to lose no more than two to maintain their majority.

Michigan is one of 11 states with a divided government ahead of the general elections. Democrats control the governorship and the Michigan Senate, while Republicans control the state House. The state has had a divided government since 2025. The last time the state had a Democratic trifecta was 2024, and the last time it had a Republican trifecta was 2018. Ballotpedia assessed a moderate possibility of either party gaining a trifecta as a result of the 2026 general elections.
