Both chambers of the New Jersey Legislature and the Virginia House of Delegates are up for election this November.  Those elections will almost certainly have to be held on 2010-era lines.  Fortunately the elections in all three chambers will be for two-year terms.  Lower house members in both states serve 2-year terms.  State Senators in New Jersey are elected for 2-year terms in years ending in '1' and for 4-year terms in years ending in '3' and '5'.  State Senators in Virginia serve 4-year terms, period, but are elected in the year before a Presidential election rather than the year after.  Both chambers in Louisiana and Mississippi are the same as the Virginia Senate.  Kentucky, the remaining state with odd-year Gubernatorial elections, has even-year Legislative elections.

Virginia will probably have elections in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Can you explain what you mean here?  I mean probably almost everywhere has something on the ballot every year.  If you're saying the Virginia House and/or Senate will be up in 2022 for a 1-year term under new lines, I had heard something about that but I have my doubts.  Were Virginia Senate terms commuted in the early 2000s (decade), when redistricting wasn't delayed, just the Senate wasn't to be up until 2003 after they were last up in 1999?  If Virginia was due to elect people to 4-year terms this year I could see commutation happening (although terms weren't commuted in Mississippi after legislators (both houses) were elected to 4-year terms in from old districts in 2011 (they served until late 2015 or early 2016)).  But my guess is that the State Representative elected this November and the State Senators elected to 4-year terms in November 2019 both serve until late 2023/early 2024.

I'm taking that from here:
