The election coincided with United States national elections and Rhode Island state elections, including U.S. House, Governor, and Rhode Island House.[4][5] Since the previous election in 2020, Democrats held a 33-to-5-seat supermajority over Republicans. Democrats maintained the same supermajority in 2022, winning 33 seats.[6]
These were the first elections in Rhode Island following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in redrawn legislative district boundaries.[7]
