2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio

November 3, 2026

All 15 Ohio seats to the United States House of Representatives
 
Party Republican Democratic
Last election 10 5

The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the fifteen U.S. representatives from the State of Ohio, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, a special election to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections will take place on May 5, 2026.[1]

Background

Redistricting

Map of Ohio's congressional districts as passed by the Ohio Redistricting Commission on October 31, 2025 and will be used for the 2026 House elections[2]

As a part of ongoing redistricting efforts across the nation, the Ohio Republican Party held a special redistricting session and redrew the state's congressional map in order to benefit the Republican Party. Republicans initially planned for a map that would have resulted in a 13 Republican to 2 Democrat representation in the state, netting the party 3 seats. In October 2025, a bipartisan group reached a deal that resulted in a map that made Ohio's 1st and 9th congressional district more Republican friendly. Democrats protected the Akron-area 13th congressional district, which was redrawn to be slightly more friendly towards Democrats. The redrawn maps are expected to increase Republican chances to flip OH-1 and OH-9 which Republican nominee Donald Trump would have won in the 2024 presidential election by three and eleven points respectively.[3]

District 1

The 1st district is based in the city of Cincinnati, stretching northward to Warren County and Clinton County after successful redistricting efforts. The incumbent is Democrat Greg Landsman, who was re-elected with 54.6% of the vote in 2024.
