![]() |
The 2008 congressional elections in Virginia were held on November 4, 2008, to determine who would represent the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States House of Representatives, coinciding with the presidential and senatorial elections. Representatives are elected for two-year terms; those elected served in the 111th Congress from January 3, 2009, until January 3, 2011. Primary elections were held on June 10, 2008.
Virginia has eleven seats in the House, apportioned according to the 2000 United States census. Democrats flipped the 2nd, 5th, and 11th districts, flipping their 3–8 deficit into a 6–5 majority. As of 2024, this is the last time that Democrats were elected to the 5th or 9th congressional districts. This is also the last time until 2018 that Democrats won the majority of House seats in Virginia.
