Welcome to the House of Representatives of The Netherlands.Welcome to the House of Representatives of the Netherlands. The Dutch Parliament is called the States General. It consists of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. On this website we provide you with information about the House of Representatives. How does it work? Who are its members? How are they elected? House of Representatives at workDemocracy in The Netherlands Elections to the U.S. House will be held on November 8, 2022. The seats of all 435 representatives will be up for election. The seats of five of the six non-voting members of the U.S. House will be up for election as well. Special elections will be held to fill vacancies that occur in the 117th Congress. As a result of the 2020 elections, Democrats maintained a majority in the U.S. House, winning 222 seats to Republicans' 213. As of October 23, 2022, Democrats held a 220-212 majority in the U.S. House with three vacancies. Republicans need to gain a net of five districts to win a majority in the chamber. The 2022 election will be the first to take place following apportionment and redistricting after the 2020 census. As a result of apportionment, six states (Texas, Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon) gained seats, and seven states (California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia) lost seats. Click here for more information about apportionment after the 2020 census. As a result of redistricting, there are eight districts where two incumbents filed to run against each other. In six of those, two incumbents from the same party filed to run against each other in their party primary. In the other two districts, incumbents from different parties are running against each other in the general election. Click here for more information about redistricting following the 2020 census.

The following map displays the 2022 House battlegrounds shaded by the incumbent's or most recent incumbent's political affiliation. Hover over a state for more information. There are 37 U.S. House battlegrounds in 2022.
Open seatsBallotpedia 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 do 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 primaryThe table and map below only include seats 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.
Seats open as a result of an incumbent losing a primaryThe table below includes seats open because the incumbent lost re-election in a primary.[1]
U.S. House races without major party oppositionIn 2022, 31 U.S. House races do not have major party opposition. Nineteen races do not feature a Democratic candidate and 12 races do not feature a Republican candidate.[4] 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 likely to win each seat.

The 52% ClubOn 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."[16] Those districts and incumbents are listed in the table below along with whether we considered the district a battleground in 2020.

Six states were apportioned one U.S. House district, so no congressional redistricting was required.

Battleground primariesSee also: U.S. House battleground primaries, 2022General 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 electionsSee 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.
