The 2023 Virginia House of Delegates election took place on November 7, 2023, concurrently with elections for the 2023 Virginia Senate election, Virginia Senate, to elect members of the 163rd Virginia General Assembly. All 100 delegates were elected to two-year terms from single-member districts. Nomination primaries held through the Department of Elections were held on June 20, 2023. Democrats gained three seats, winning back control with a 51–49 majority after having previously lost it in 2021 Virginia House of Delegates election, 2021.

Background

Following the 2021 Virginia House of Delegates election, 2021 election, Republican Party of Virginia, Republicans regained control of the Virginia House of Delegates, House of Delegates, which had been lost to the Democratic Party of Virginia, Democrats in 2019 Virginia House of Delegates election, 2019. They controlled a narrow majority of 52 seats prior to the 2023 election. After the 2022 General Assembly session, House Democrats voted via a secret ballot to remove former List of speakers of the Virginia House of Delegates, speaker and then-minority leader Eileen Filler-Corn from the top of party leadership. House Democrats would replace Filler-Corn with Don Scott (Virginia politician), Don Scott as the new minority leader. The 2023 election was the first held under new district maps following 2020 United States redistricting cycle, redistricting as a result of the 2020 United States census, 2020 census. In 2020 Virginia Question 1, 2020, voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to create an independent redistricting committee. This committee ultimately failed to agree on a newly drawn map. The districts delegates ran in were created by two special masters appointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia. Governor of Virginia, Governor Glenn Youngkin sought a Republican trifecta, already having control of the House of Delegates after the 2021 election. However, this is the first state-level election in Virginia following the Supreme Court of the United States, U.S. Supreme Court's ''Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization'' decision the previous year, which ruled that abortion is not a constitutional right in the United States. Youngkin attempted to change Republican messaging on abortion by proposing a 15-week abortion "limit" instead of using the word "ban".
