About this election
The electoral system
All 435 seats were contested, each elected by first-past-the-post in a single-member district, with 218 needed for control. As with every House election, this page presents the national popular vote and the resulting party composition rather than a single regional map. The 2022 elections were the first held under district lines redrawn following the 2020 census, a redistricting cycle that proved roughly neutral in its overall partisan effect after court rulings reshaped several state maps.
