Elections to the U.S. House of Representatives happened on November 5, 2024. All 435 districts were up for election. All six of the chamber's non-voting members were also up for election.

As a result of the elections, Republicans won 220 districts, maintaining control of the chamber, while Democrats won 215 districts.[1]

Heading into the election, Republicans held a 220-212 majority in the U.S. House with three vacancies. Two vacancies happened because Democratic representatives died and one happened because a Republican representative left office early.

Democrats needed to retain control of the two vacant seats and gain a net of four seats to win a majority. They retained control of both seats and gained a net of one seat. Republicans could only lose a net of three seats—including the vacant seat—and retain control of the chamber.

Eleven U.S. House incumbents lost their re-election campaigns on November 5. These members include four Democrats and seven Republicans.

Five states—Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, New York, and North Carolina—used different congressional maps for the 2024 election than they did in 2022 due to court rulings or legal requirements.

In 2024, 45 seats were open because the incumbent did not run for re-election, and four were open because the incumbent lost in a primary.

Ballotpedia tracked 54 districts (12.4%) as battleground races in 2024. Democrats held 29 of those districts, and Republicans held 25.

Ballotpedia identified 52 of the 435 House races (12.4%) as battlegrounds.

These battleground races were selected using the following criteria. For more information on our methodology, click here:

  • the 2024 winner's margin of victory,
  • the results of the 2020 presidential election in the district,
  • whether the incumbent was seeking re-election,
  • whether the incumbent was serving his or her first term in Congress, and
  • how the Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales rated the race.

In addition to the competitiveness data above, a race may have been particularly compelling or meaningful to the balance of power in governments for other reasons. The following map displays the 2024 House battlegrounds shaded by the incumbent's or most recent incumbent's political affiliation. Hover over a district for more information.

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."[40][41][42]

The data in the report is compiled by POLIDATA, a political data analysis company, with assistance from National Journal and The Cook Political Report.[43][44]

Battleground primaries

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.
