The 2024 Ohio House of Representatives elections will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect representatives in all 99 districts of the Ohio House of Representatives. Members will be elected in single-member constituencies to two-year terms. These elections will be held concurrently with various federal and state elections, including for U.S. President, U.S. Senate, and the Ohio Senate. These elections will be held under different districts than the 2022 Ohio House of Representatives Elections because in September of 2023, the Ohio Redistricting Commission approved a new set of maps for the state house and the state senate districts. Unlike the 5 previous district maps adopted by the redistricting commission, the newest map was upheld by the Ohio State Supreme Court in November of 2023, allowing it to go into effect from the 2024 election until the 2030 election.^[1]

Partisan Background
