Despite Republicans winning 56% of the popular vote among all State Assembly Districts, Democrats gained 2 seats, winning a supermajority of 28 out of 42 seats. The discrepancy is explained by Democrats' not fielding a candidate in 7 safely Republican seats, lower turnout in Democratic-won districts, and Democratic gerrymandering.[1] Democrats won 83% of Assembly districts in Clark County, Nevada with only 52% of the popular vote in the county.[2]

Primary elections were held on June 14, 2022.[3]
