The 2022 Idaho House of Representatives elections took place on November 8, 2022.[1] Primary elections were held on May 17, 2022.[2] Idaho voters elected state representatives in all 70 seats of the House, electing two state representatives in each of the 35 Idaho state legislative districts. State representatives serve two-year terms in the Idaho House of Representatives.[3]

The election coincided with United States national elections and Idaho state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and Idaho Senate.[4][5] Since the previous election in 2020, Republicans held a 58-to-12-seat supermajority over Democrats. Republicans gained a seat in 2022, increasing their supermajority to 59 seats.[6]

These were the first elections in Idaho following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in some members being assigned to new districts.[7][8][9]
