The 2022 Missouri House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, with the primary election held on Tuesday, August 2, 2022.[14][15] Missouri voters selected state representatives in all 163 seats of the House of Representatives to serve two-year terms.[16]
The election coincided with United States national elections and Missouri state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Auditor, and Missouri Senate.[17][18][19] Following the previous election in 2020, Republicans held a 114-to-49-seat supermajority over Democrats.[20] There was one special election during the legislative term.[9] Representative Kip Kendrick (D) of District 45 resigned on January 6, 2021.[10] David Tyson Smith (D) won the subsequent special election, holding the seat for his party.[11][12][13] Going into election day, there were eight vacancies in the chamber: seven vacancies had been held by Republicans and one vacancy had been a Democratic seat. Therefore, on election day 2022, there were 107 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and eight open seats.[b] Republicans maintained the supermajority in 2022, winning 111 seats. At 52 members, Democrats gained their largest share of House seats since 2012.[21]
These were the first elections in Missouri following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in redrawn legislative district boundaries.[22][23]
