The Democratic party secured a majority in Georgia’s lower legislative chamber following the 2026 election cycle, ending more than 20 years of Republican control of the state House. While Democrats took the House, Republicans maintained control of the Georgia Senate with a one-seat majority.
The result in Georgia contributed to a wider national trend for the party, which flipped 12 state legislative chambers in 2026. According to election data, this total represents the largest single-year net gain for Democrats in state legislative control since 1982.
