The 2022 elections for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives were held on November 8,2022,with all districts currently being decided. The term of office for those elected in 2022 will begin when the House of Representatives convenes in January 2023. Pennsylvania State Representatives are elected for two-year terms,with all 203 seats up for election every two years. Democrats won a majority of seats in the chamber over the Republicans for the first time since 2010. For months after the election,partisan control of the chamber was claimed by both parties with 3 vacancies due to Democrats not being able to take their seats due to death or resignation. After protracted bipartisan negotiations,16 Republicans joined all Democrats in voting for Mark Rozzi as Speaker,who subsequently announced that he would become an independent and no longer caucus with the Democrats. This meant that no party would have a majority in the House,in the event that Democrats win in special elections which will occur due to vacancies in safe Democratic-leaning seats.
