Elections to the U.S. House were held on November 8, 2022. All 435 districts were up for election. Five of the chamber's six non-voting members were up for election as well.

As a result of the elections, Republicans gained a 222-213 majority.[1]

Heading into the election, Democrats had a 220-212 majority. There were three vacancies. Republicans needed to gain a net of five districts to win a majority in the chamber. The party gained a net of nine districts.

Nine incumbents — six Democrats and three Republicans — were defeated.

The 2022 election was the first to take place following reapportionment and redistricting after the 2020 census. Six states (Texas, Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon) gained districts, and seven states (California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia) lost districts. Click here for more information about apportionment after the 2020 census.

In 2022, 52 districts were open because the incumbent did not run for re-election. Five were open because they were newly created districts where no incumbent filed to run.[2] Ten districts were open because the incumbent lost in a primary. One district was vacant because the incumbent passed away.[3]

Ballotpedia tracked 39 districts (8.5%) as battleground races. Democrats held 30 of those districts, Republicans held seven, and two were newly created districts after the 2020 census.

The following maps display U.S. House races sorted by margins of victory.

5% or less

5% to 15%

15% or more


The average MOV of in the U.S. House was 28.9 percentage points, the second smallest margin since 2012, and up slightly from 28.8 percentage points in 2020.

Broken down by the winner's party, the average MOV was 28.4 percentage points for Democrats and 29.3 percentage points for Republicans.

The closest U.S. House race in 2022 was in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, where Lauren Boebert (R) defeated Adam Frisch (D) by a margin of 0.17%, or 546 votes out of more than 300,000 cast. This was 540 votes more than the closest House race in 2020. In that race, Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R) defeated Rita Hart (D) by a margin of 6 votes out of nearly 400,000 cast, the narrowest margin of victory in any U.S. House election since 1984.



Open seats

Heading into the 2022 elections, there were 68 open U.S. House seats. Fifty-two districts were open because the incumbent did not run for re-election, five were open because they were newly created districts where no incumbent filed to run. Ten districts were open because the incumbent lost in a primary.[21] One district — Indiana's 2nd — was vacant because the incumbent passed away.[22]

Before the election, Democrats held 36 of the open seats up for election, Republicans held 27, and five were newly created seats. As a result of the 2022 elections, Democrats won 30 of those seats, and Republicans won 38.

Ballotpedia considers a seat to be open if the incumbent representative did not file to run for re-election or if they filed for re-election but withdrew before the primary. If an incumbent filed to run in a different district than the one they currently represent, Ballotpedia considers the seat they currently represent as open, as long as no incumbent from another district is running in it. A seat created as a result of a state gaining a new congressional district due to apportionment is also considered open if no incumbent is running in it.

This section does not include vacant seats filled by special election before November 8, 2022, unless no incumbents appeared on the regular primary ballot for that seat.

Seats open at the time of the primary

The table below includes election results for districts that were open at the time the state held its congressional primary. For a list of seats that opened up as a result of an incumbent losing re-election in a primary, see the following section.

U.S. House races without major party opposition

In 2022, 35 U.S. House races did not have major party opposition. Twenty-three races did not feature a Democratic candidate and 12 races did not feature a Republican candidate.

When candidates from only one of either the Democratic or Republican parties run for a U.S. House seat, the seat is all but guaranteed to be won by that party.

The map and table below show the U.S. House races without major opposition in 2022 and the party that won each seat.

See also: Annual Congressional Competitiveness Report, 2022

Ballotpedia's Annual Congressional Competitiveness report for 2022 includes information on the number of elections featuring candidates from both major parties, the number of open seats, and more.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • In 2022, there were 67 incumbent members of congress—seven U.S. senators and 60 members of the U.S. House—who did not file to run for re-election, amounting to 14.3% of those members eligible to run for re-election.
  • Of the 410 incumbents who ran for re-election, 247 (60.2%) faced contested primaries. This is the highest rate of congressional incumbents facing contested primaries since at least 2014 and is at least the fourth consecutive cycle where this rate has increased from the previous cycle.[37]
  • There were 35 U.S. House districts and one seat in the U.S. Senate in 2022 that were effectively guaranteed to one major party because no candidate from the other party appeared on the general election ballot, accounting for 8.0% of all U.S. House races and 2.9% of all U.S. Senate races. This was more than in 2020 but fewer than at any other point in the preceding decade.

    The following table compared U.S. House race ratings from The Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections prior to the November 2022 elections.

    The 52% Club

    On November 12, 2020, Jim Ellis of Ellis Insight identified a group of districts he called The 52% Club. Ellis said that these districts, where the incumbent won re-election with less than 52 percent of the vote, could be "some of the most competitive early targets in the 2022 elections."[38] Those districts and incumbents are listed in the table below.

    Redistricting after the 2020 census

    See also: State legislative and congressional redistricting after the 2020 census

    Redistricting is the process of drawing new congressional and state legislative district boundaries. This article summarizes congressional and state legislative actions in each state in the 2020 cycle.

    As of October 2025, congressional maps in the following states had been struck down due to ongoing litigation or were required to be redrawn before the 2026 elections.

    Georgia

    On December 8, 2023, Governor Brian Kemp (R) signed revised congressional maps into law. Legislators in the Georgia House of Representatives voted 98-71 to adopt the new congressional map on December 7. The Georgia State Senate voted 32-22 to adopt the congressional map on December 5.[69][70]

    On October 26, 2023, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled that the state's congressional and legislative district boundaries violated the Voting Rights Act and enjoined the state from using them for future elections.[71] The court directed the Georgia General Assembly to develop new maps by December 8, 2023.[71]

    On December 28, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District upheld the maps enacted on December 8, which were later used in the 2024 elections, and found them in compliance with the Voting Rights Act.[72]

    “ The Court finds that the General Assembly fully complied with this Court’s order requiring the creation of a majority-Black congressional district in the region of the State where vote dilution was found. The Court further finds that the elimination of 2021 CD 7 did not violate the October 26, 2023 Order. Finally, the Court declines to adjudicate Plaintiffs’ new Section 2 claim based on a coalition of minority voters. Hence, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiffs’ objections ... and HEREBY APPROVES SB 3EX.[73][74] ”

    The district court's approval of remedial state legislative maps was appealed to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral argument was held on January 23, 2025.[75]

    Louisiana

    On June 27, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court scheduled Louisiana v. Callais for reargument in its next term.[76] In August 2025, the Court scheduled arguments for October 15, 2025.[77]

    The Court first heard oral arguments in the case on March 24, 2025.[78] On November 4, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Louisiana v. Callais (formerly Callais v. Landry) consolidated with Robinson v. Callais — two appeals from the U.S. District Court for Western Louisiana decision that struck down the state's new congressional map. The Court noted probable jurisdiction and allotted one hour for oral argument.[79][80]

    On May 15, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked an April 30 ruling by the U.S. District Court for Western Louisiana striking down the state's congressional map. As a result, the map was used for Louisiana’s 2024 congressional elections.[81] According to ScotusBlog,

    “ In a brief unsigned order the justices blocked a ruling by a federal court that had barred the state from using the new map on the ground that legislators had relied too heavily on race when they drew it earlier this year. The order cited an election doctrine known as the Purcell principle – the idea that courts should not change election rules during the period just before an election because of the confusion that it will cause for voters and the problems that doing so could cause for election officials. The lower court’s order will remain on hold, the court indicated, while an appeal to the Supreme Court moves forward.[81][74] ”


    Gov. Jeff Landry signed the congressional map into law on January 22 after a special legislative session. The state House of Representatives voted 86-16 and the state Senate voted 27-11 to adopt this congressional map on January 19.[82][83]

    According to NPR, "Under the new map, Louisiana's 2nd District, which encompasses much of New Orleans and surrounding areas, will have a Black population of about 53%. Democratic U.S. Rep. Troy Carter represents that district, which has been Louisiana's only majority-Black district for several years. Louisiana's 6th District now stretches from parts of Shreveport to Baton Rouge and will have a Black population of about 56%."[84]

    Ohio

    On March 2, 2022, the Ohio Redistricting Commission approved a redrawn congressional map in a 5-2 vote along party lines, meaning the map lasted for four years.[85] On March 18, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to overturn the map before the state's primary elections as part of the legal challenge that overturned the initial congressional map.[86] This map took effect for Ohio's 2022 congressional elections.

    Utah

    Utah enacted new congressional districts on November 12, 2021, after Gov. Spencer Cox (R) signed a map proposal approved by the House and the Senate. The enacted map was drafted by the legislature and differed from a proposal the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission released on November 5, 2021.[87] The congressional map passed the Utah House 50-22 on November 9, 2021, with five Republicans and all Democratic House members voting against it. The Senate approved the map on November 10, 2021, in a 21-7 vote. Before signing the congressional map, Cox said he would not veto any maps approved by the legislature. He said, "The Legislature is fully within their rights to actually make those decisions and decide where they want to draw those lines."[88] This map took effect for Utah's 2022 congressional elections.

    The Utah Supreme Court ruled on July 11, 2024, that the legislature's override of Proposition 4 likely violated voters' constitutional right to participate in government.[89] The Court returned the case to Third District Court Judge Dianna Gibson to determine whether the legislature's changes to the ballot initiative were "narrowly tailored to advance a compelling government interest."[90] On August 25, 2025, Gibson struck down the state's congressional map, writing, "The nature of the violation lies in the Legislature’s refusal to respect the people’s exercise of their constitutional lawmaking power and to honor the people’s right to reform their government."[91] On September 15, 2025, the Utah Supreme Court rejected the legislature's appeal to pause the district court ruling, allowing plans to redraw the map by November 10, 2025, to proceed.[92]

    On October 6, 2025, the Utah Legislature approved a new congressional map to submit to the judge for consideration that made two districts more competitive while leaving all four districts leaning Republican.[93] The same day, the plaintiffs in the case against the original map that was struck down also submitted two maps to the judge for consideration.[94]


    Cook Partisan Voting Index

    The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index (PVI) is a measurement tool that scores each congressional district based on how strongly it leans toward one political party. The index, developed by Charles Cook of the The Cook Political Report (CPR), compares each congressional district's score to that of the nation as a whole. According to Politico, the PVI is designed to "provide a quick overall assessment of generic partisan strength in a congressional district."[95][96][97]

    The data in the report is compiled by POLIDATA, a political data analysis company, with assistance from National Journal and The Cook Political Report.[98][99]

    Cook's 2022 PVI report included the following congressional district statistics following the 2020 election cycle:[100]

    • 222 Republican wins
    • 213 Democratic wins

    Other statistics:[100]

    Primary election competitiveness

    See also: Primary election competitiveness in state and federal government, 2022

    Ballotpedia's 2022 state primary election competitiveness data analyzes all state legislative, state executive, and congressional elections that took place in 2022. This analysis provides an understanding of how competitive the year's primary elections were using metrics including the number of incumbents who did not seek re-election, the total number of contested primaries, and the number of incumbents with primary challengers. Historical comparisons are also provided for context.

    The charts below show primary competitiveness statistics for the U.S. House from 2014 to 2022. The figures shown are total numbers. This analysis uses the following definitions:

    • Total candidates: the total number of major party candidates running in primary elections.[105]
    • Total seats: the total number of seats or offices up for election with the possibility of a primary election.
    • Open seats: the total number of seats, out of the total seats figure, where the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed to run for re-election but withdrew before the primary filing deadline.
    • Incumbents contested: the total number of incumbents in contested primaries.
    • Democratic/Republican/Top-two primaries: the total number of these types of primaries where at least one candidate could have failed to advance to the general election.
    • Total primaries: a combination of all Democratic, Republican, and top-two primaries where at least one candidate could have failed to advance to the general election.

    Battleground primaries

    See also: U.S. House battleground primaries, 2022

    General elections are often the focal point of election-year media coverage as they determine control of elected offices up and down the ballot. Primary elections, however, can provide insight on future elections as they help dictate the direction each party takes.

    Although many of the most competitive primaries take place for open seats or offices that are held by a different party, even high-ranking federal officeholders can lose renomination to primary challengers. In the 2014 primary for Virginia's 7th Congressional District, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R), ranked behind only then-Speaker John Boehner (R) in Republican House leadership, was defeated by economics professor Dave Brat (R).

    In this section, you will find a list of noteworthy and notable Republican and Democratic primaries taking place across the country for the U.S. House.

    Wave elections

    See also: Wave elections (1918-2016)

    Ballotpedia defines wave elections as the 20 percent of elections where the president's party lost the most seats during the last 100 years (50 election cycles).

    The president's party lost 48 or more U.S. House seats in 11 of the 50 elections since 1918, ranging from 97 seats lost under President Herbert Hoover in 1930 to 48 seats lost under Presidents Lyndon Johnson (1966) and Gerald Ford (1974). For 2022 to qualify historically as a wave election, Democrats must lose 48 U.S. House seats in 2022.

    U.S. House waves from 1918 to 2016 are listed in the table below.

    U.S. House wave elections
    Year President Party Election type House seats change House majority[158]
