General elections were held in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina on 2 October 2022 as part of the Bosnian general elections.^[1] Voters elected the 98 members of the House of Representatives of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the assemblies of the cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Christian Schmidt, the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, imposed changes to the country's electoral law after voting hours ended for the election. The changes prominently included an expansion of the Federal House of Peoples from 56 to 80 members, changes in the election process for the house as well as changes in the election process for the president and vice presidents of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.^[2][3]

The Party of Democratic Action (SDA) emerged as the largest party in the House of Representatives, winning 26 of the 98 seats. The Social Democratic Party and the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ BiH) each won 15 seats. The Democratic Front won 12 seats, while People and Justice won 7 seats, up five from the previous general election in 2018. Our Party repeated its result from the previous election, winning six seats.

In spite of the SDA emerging as the largest party, its failure to form a functional coalition led to the liberal alliance Troika and the HDZ BiH to form a coalition alongside the Croatian Democratic Union 1990, with Nermin Nikšić getting appointed as the new Prime Minister in April 2023, albeit after interventions by Christian Schmidt.^[4]
