Party Unity in General Assembly Votes

With a nearly two-to-one majority in the House of Delegates, voting unity among Democrats declined slightly compared to recent sessions, while Republican voting unity had a sharp increase, based on analysis of highly contested votes during the 2026 session. In the state Senate, party unity remained at the same levels.

Notes: Only includes close votes. VPAP defines a close vote as any roll call vote on the House or Senate floor in which those opposed to the prevailing position constituted at least one-third of those voting. Party unity is based on all voting members of a party casting their vote the same way, excluding abstentions.
