In the 2019 Mississippi Legislature elections, Republicans expanded their majorities in both chambers to 75 in the House and 36 in the Senate.[2][3] Going into the 2023 elections, Republicans held a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate, though not in the House.
The 2023 election was the first election held under new district maps following redistricting as a result of the 2020 census.[4]
Of the 52 seats up for election, 39 had a single candidate running for office. Of these, 12 only had a Democrat running while the remaining 27 only had a Republican running. The remaining 13 were contested by combinations of Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green, and Independent candidates.[8]
