The 2022 Colorado House of Representatives elections took place on November 8, 2022, along with the elections in the State Senate. The primary elections were held on June 28, 2022. Voters in all 65 districts of the state House elected their representative for a two-year term. These coincided with other Colorado elections of the same year and the biennial United States elections.
Democrats gained five seats, increasing their majority to 46 out of 65 seats and giving them a supermajority in the State House for the first time in over 50 years.
Background In the previous state House election (2020), the Democrats held on to their majority of 17 seats, with no net seat change. Therefore, for Democrats to lose their absolute majority in the House in this election, Republicans and other parties needed to gain at least 9 more seats.
This was the first election with the districts drawn based on the 2020 census.
Incumbents not seeking re-election Representatives who have served four consecutive terms are not eligible for re-election. For terms to be considered non-consecutive, there needs to be a gap of at least four years between them.
