^ The majority in the Alaska House of Representatives is held by a coalition of 20 Republicans, 2 Democrats and 1 Independent. The minority consists of 11 Democrats, 4 Independents and 1 Republican. There is also 1 Republican part of neither group.
^ The majority in the Alaska Senate is held by a coalition of 9 Democrats and 8 Republicans. There are 3 Republicans outside the caucus.
^ The
Constitution of California names it the "California Legislature", but the legislature brands itself as the "California State Legislature".
^ The
Constitution of Louisiana vests legislative authority in "a legislature, consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives," and refers to it as "the legislature" throughout, without officially designating a term for the two houses together. However, the two bodies do use the term "Louisiana State Legislature" in official references to itself.
^ There are 3 additional non-voting seats allocated to
sovereign tribal nations within Maine. Since 2018, only one seat (belonging to the
Passamaquoddy ) is filled; the tribal representative is a Democrat but is not counted in this total.
^ When Nebraska switched to a unicameral legislature in 1937, the lower house was abolished. All current Nebraskan legislators are referred to as "Senators", as the pre-1937 senate was the retained house.
^ Nebraska's legislature is
de jure nonpartisan but senators' political affiliations are publicly known and voting often happens along party lines; the
de facto composition is given here.
^ The
Constitution of Utah names it the "Legislature of the State of Utah", but the legislature brands itself as the "Utah State Legislature".
^ The majority in the Vermont House of Representatives is held by a coalition of 104 Democrats, 5
Vermont Progressives and 3 independents. The minority consists of 37 Republicans and 1
Libertarian .
^ The majority in the Vermont Senate is held by a coalition of 22 Democrats and 1
Vermont Progressive . 7 Republicans make up the minority.
^ The
Constitution of Washington names it "the legislature of the state of Washington", but the legislature brands itself as the "Washington State Legislature".
