The 2020 Arabin elections is scheduled for Saturday, December 5, 2020. All 147 (plus 48 new seats) in the Arabin House of Representatives, 11 of the 32 seats in the Arabin Senate, eight governorships, as well as other state and local elections will be contested.

Democrats (formerly Liberal Socialist) have held a majority in the House and Senate since the 2014 elections. The Senate elections are considered to be a tossup, meaning both parties have an equal chance at controlling it, in the House, however, Democrats are expected to keep their majority.

All seats of Senate Class I will be up for election; the winners of those elections will serve six-year terms. Other states may hold special elections if any vacancies occur.

Democrats gained control of the Senate since 2014 and retained their majority through the 2016 and 2018 Senate elections. Democrats currently hold 18 seats, while Republicans (formerly Conservative Socialist) hold 14. The Democrats have 8 seats up for election, while the Republicans only have 3. In order for Republicans to gain control of the Senate, they must retain their current seats and flip three Democratic-held seats. Democrats can lose two seats and still maintain control of the Senate with the vice president giving them the majority.

All 147 voting seats in the House will be up for election, including 48 new seats for a total of 195 seats. With the new numbers of seats, 98 seats are needed for a majority. The winners of each race will serve a two-year term. Democrats currently have 85 seats compared to the Republican's 62.

Democrats gained control of the House in the 2014 elections, winning 75 seats compared to 72 seats for the Republicans. No member of the House has switched parties while serving in the 91st Congress. One Democratic seat became vacant after the death of Rep. Harry Kilburn, a Democrat, in December 2019. A special election was held in May 2020 to fill his seat. The seat flipped from Democrat to Republican after the special election.
