Government |
The 2022 Pennsylvania state elections will take place on November 8, 2022. On that date, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will hold elections for the following offices: Governor and Lieutenant Governor (on one ticket), U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, Pennsylvania State Senate, Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and various others.
Redistricting
Following the 2020 Census, Pennsylvania's congressional, State Senate, and State House districts will all be redrawn. Summary 2020 census data released by the United States Census Bureau in April 2021 announced that Pennsylvania will lose one congressional seat.[1]
United States Senate
Incumbent Republican Senator Pat Toomey announced he would retire at the end of his term and not seek re-election in 2022.[2]
United States House of Representatives
The general election will be held on November 8. Following the 2020 Census, reapportionment led to Pennslyvania's House delegation shrinking from 18 seats to 17 seats; redistricting will determine the new district lines.
Governor & Lt. Governor
Incumbent Democratic Governor Tom Wolf is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third term. Lt. Governor John Fetterman is eligible for re-election to a second term, but is instead running for US Senate.
Pennsylvania State Senate
25 of 50 seats (even-numbered districts) in the Pennsylvania Senate are up for election in Pennsylvania's general election.
Pennsylvania House of Representatives
All 203 seats in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives are up for election in the general election.
Pennsylvania ballot measures
No statewide ballot measures are currently scheduled to be on the ballot for this election.
