Each chamber's seats are colored by the party leading the count and set against the number of seats needed for a majority.
The table lists each district's candidates, who holds the seat and how the district voted in its last race and for president in 2024, with the count after 8 p.m. Select a district for its full past results and the places it covers.

Margins are Democrat minus Republican, in points. "Target" marks the 25 seats the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee or Spotlight PA named as 2026 targets. Counted is the vote so far as a share of the district's 2022 turnout, so it can pass 100%. Last race is the 2024 election for House seats and 2022 for Senate seats, or a special election since. A lead is not a call. Sources: Pennsylvania Department of State; MIT Election Data and Science Lab.
The page lists all 203 House seats and the 25 even-numbered Senate seats on the ballot: each district's candidates, its incumbent, its last result and its 2024 presidential vote. Candidates and the live count come from the Pennsylvania Department of State's election results feed (electionreturns.pa.gov), read every three minutes. A candidate who cross-filed is counted for the first party the feed lists.
The incumbent is the winner of the seat's last general election (2024 for the House, 2022 for the even-numbered Senate seats), replaced by the winner of any later special election, all from the same feed. A seat is open when no candidate on the 2026 ballot shares the incumbent's last name and party.
The 2024 presidential margin in each district is summed from the official 2024 precinct returns compiled by the MIT Election Data and Science Lab. Each precinct is assigned to the House district its own State House race was reported under. The even-numbered Senate seats did not run in 2024, so their precincts are assigned from the 2022 precinct returns by county and precinct code; a precinct with no 2022 match is left out of its Senate district's total. The 2022 governor and U.S. Senate margins and the 2024 U.S. Senate margin are summed the same way. Counties are listed by their share of the district's 2024 presidential vote. Municipalities for the competitive seats come from the Department of State's descriptions of the 2022 district lines, drawn by the Legislative Reapportionment Commission.
A seat is listed as close when both major parties have a candidate and either the 2024 presidential margin or the seat's last result was within 10 points. That gives 35 House and seven Senate seats. The seats closest to the majority line are those ranked nearest it by 2024 presidential margin: if every seat voted as it did for president in 2024, the seat at the line would decide the majority.
Targets are the 18 House and six Senate seats on the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee's Pennsylvania page (accessed Nov. 3, 2026), plus House District 72, which Spotlight PA reported drew about $1.6 million from House Democrats' campaign committee. We found no district-level list from the Republican committees.
Hesitation Media does not project winners in legislative races, so a lead on this page is not a call; the Department of State and county boards certify results.
