The 2023 Mississippi House of Representatives election was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, to elect all 122 members of the Mississippi House of Representatives to four-year terms. It was held concurrently with elections for all statewide offices and the Mississippi State Senate. Primary elections took place on August 8. ^[1]

The 2023 election was the first election held under new district maps following redistricting as a result of the 2020 census. ^[2]

Background

In the 2019 Mississippi Legislature elections, Republicans expanded their majorities in both chambers to 75 in the House and 36 in the Senate. ^{[3] [4]} They had 77 members in the House, five votes short of a two-thirds supermajority, after elected Democrats Kevin Horan and Jon Ray Lancaster switched parties. ^[5]

Republicans held 2 districts Biden won: District 43 (Biden +1%) and District 102 (Biden +6%).
