What's left?
As of June 14, 2024, 32 state legislatures had adjourned their regular session for the year. Fourteen other states were in regular session or recess, and four states do not hold even-year legislative sessions.
While most states have concluded legislative business for the year, there were still 257 bills that had passed at least one legislative chamber and were still under consideration by another chamber or a governor. Most of these (161 bills) were in states with Democratic trifectas, including 62 in New York and 35 in California. New Hampshire had passed the most bills (22) out of a chamber out of states with a Republican trifecta still in session. Of states with divided governments, North Carolina, which had not yet adopted any changes to election laws this year, was still considering the most bills (52).
Ballotpedia will continue to cover state legislative changes to election laws throughout the rest of the year, culminating in the Year-End State of Election Administration Report to be released in December.
