The 2022 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 34 of the 100 seats in the 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 census.
At least 34 of the 100 seats in the 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 3 senators were held in 2016.
Special elections
At least one special election will take place in 2022 to replace a senator who resigned during the 117th Congress:
All 435 voting seats in the House of Representatives will be up for election. As of January 2022, 42 representatives (29 Democrats, 13 Republicans) 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 censusredistricting, several districts may lack an incumbent or have multiple incumbents.
Special elections
At least two special elections will take place in 2022 to replace a member who resigned or died in office during the 117th Congress:
Elections will be held for the governorships of 36 states and three territories. Special elections may be held for vacancies in the other states and territories if required by the respective state and territorial constitutions. As most governors serve four-year terms, the last regularly-scheduled elections for most seats up for election in 2022 were held in 2018. The governors of New Hampshire and Vermont each serve two-year terms, so incumbents in these two states were determined by the 2020 gubernatorial elections.
Incumbent's status for the 2022 US Attorney General elections
Attorneys general will be elected in thirty states, three territories, and one federal district. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2018. The attorney general of Vermont serves two-year terms and was last elected in 2020.[9]
Secretaries of state will be elected in twenty-seven states. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2018. The secretary of state of Vermont serves two-year terms and was last elected in 2020.[10]
The vast majority of states and territories will hold legislative elections in 2022. Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia will not hold state legislative elections, as those states all hold such elections in odd-numbered years. In states that use staggered terms, some state senators will not be up for election. As these elections will be the first conducted after the 2020 censusredistricting, several legislative districts may lack an incumbent or have multiple incumbents.

C., do not elect members of the Senate, and the territories do not take part in presidential elections; instead, they each elect one non-voting member of the House. Nebraska's unicamerallegislature and the governorship and legislature of American Samoa are elected on a non-partisan basis, and, therefore, political party affiliation is not listed.
