The 2022 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested. Thirty-nine state and territorial gubernatorial and numerous other state and local elections will also be contested. This will be the first election affected by the redistricting that will follow the 2020 United States census.
Federal elections[edit]
Senate elections[edit]
At least 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be up for election, including all 34 Class 3 seats. Special elections may also be held to fill vacancies in the other two Senate classes. As senators serve six-year terms, the last regularly-scheduled elections for Class III senators were held in 2016.
House of Representatives elections[edit]
All 435 voting seats in the United States House of Representatives will be up for election. As of August 2021, sixteen representatives have announced that they will be retiring. The incumbents in these races were determined in the 2020 House of Representatives elections and subsequent special elections. As these elections will be the first conducted after the post-2020 Census redistricting, several districts may lack an incumbent or have multiple incumbents.
Special elections[edit]
At least one special election will take place in 2022 to replace a member who resigned or died in office during the 117th U.S. Congress:
- Florida's 20th congressional district: Incumbent Alcee Hastings died from pancreatic cancer on April 6, 2021.[1] A special election is to be held on January 11, 2022, as determined by Governor Ron DeSantis.[2] The district has a partisan index of D+28.[3]

Table of state, territorial, and federal results[edit]
This table shows the partisan results of president, congressional, gubernatorial, and state legislative races held in each state and territory in 2022. Note that not all states and territories hold gubernatorial, state legislative, and U.S. Senate elections in 2022. The five territories and Washington, D.C., do not elect members of the U.S. Senate, and the territories do not take part in presidential elections; instead, they each elect one non-voting member of the House. Nebraska's unicameral legislature and the governorship and legislature of American Samoa are elected on a non-partisan basis and therefore political party affiliation is not listed.
