The 1862–63 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between June 2, 1862 and November 3, 1863, during the American Civil War and President Abraham Lincoln's first term. Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives before the first session of the 38th United States Congress convened on December 7, 1863. The congressional reapportionment based on the 1860 United States Census was still performed, assuming the seceded states were still in the union, increasing the number of congressional districts to 241. And West Virginia was given three seats from Virginia after the former broke away from the latter to rejoin the union as a separate state. But the seceded states remained unrepresented and left 58 vacancies. Republicans lost 22 seats and the majority, while Democrats gained 28.
