** Ballotpedia is covering more than 8,700 school board seats up for election across 28 states
------------------------------------------------------------
This might be an off-cycle election year for Congress and most state legislatures, but school board elections don’t stop. With about 83,000 board members in over 13,000 districts ([link removed] , school boards are some of the most influential elected bodies in the country—but also some of the most overlooked.
In 2023, Ballotpedia is covering elections for approximately 8,750 school board seats in 3,211 school districts across 28 states. Traditionally, we’ve covered all school districts in the 100 largest cities by population and the 200 largest school districts by student enrollment.

** Control of Wisconsin Supreme Court at stake in most expensive judicial election in U.S. history
------------------------------------------------------------
On April 4, Wisconsin voters will decide the ideological balance of their state supreme court, choosing between Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Janet Protasiewicz and former Justice Daniel Kelly.
While Wisconsin’s supreme court elections are officially nonpartisan, PBS Wisconsin’s Zac Schultz wrote ([link removed] , “Protasiewicz and Kelly are heavily aligned with the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively.”
The winner will succeed retiring Justice Patience Roggensack, a member of the court’s current 4-3 conservative majority. If Protasiewicz wins, the court will switch to a 4-3 liberal majority. If Kelly wins, the conservative majority will remain.

** Virginia General Assembly elections will determine state’s trifecta status
------------------------------------------------------------
Virginia is one of four states—along with Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Jersey—holding legislative elections this year.
For the first time since 2019, all 140 legislative districts are holding elections: 40 in the Senate and 100 in the House.
Virginia is one of two states where both major parties control one chamber. Democrats have controlled the Senate since 2019 and enter the election with a 22-18 majority. Republicans have held a 52-48 majority in the House since 2021. This—plus the state’s Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, whose term ends in 2025—gives the state a divided government.
