Prior to the election, Democrats held 22 seats, and Republicans held 18 seats.

Republicans gained two seats, making the Senate tied with 20 Democrats and 20 Republicans.

The Virginia House of Delegates election of 2011 was held on Tuesday, November 8. Before the election, the House of Delegates consisted of 58 Republicans, 39 Democrats, 2 Independents, with one vacant seat previously held by a Republican (Glenn Oder of the 94th district, who resigned in August 2011).
