Alabama State Legislature

{{main|2018 Alabama House of Representatives election|2018 Alabama Senate election}}

Every member of the Alabama state legislature was up for election in 2018. Both state senators and state representatives serve four-year terms in Alabama. After the 2014 elections, Republicans maintained control of both chambers. In 2018, all 35 Alabama Senate seats and all 105 Alabama House of Representatives seats were up for election. These seats would not be contested in a regularly-scheduled election again until 2022.

The outcome of this election could affect partisan balance during post-2020 census redistricting.{{citation |url=https://www.ncsl.org/research/redistricting/election-dates-for-legislators-governors-who-will-do-redistricting.aspx |title=Election Dates for Legislators and Governors Who Will Do Redistricting |date=December 4, 2019 |author1=Wendy Underhill |author2= Ben Williams |publisher=National Conference of State Legislatures |location=Washington, D.C. |work=Ncsl.org }}
