Representatives in the United States House of Representatives are elected every two years. Elections are held in every even-numbered year, typically on Election Day, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November
. Each elected representative serves a two-year term with no term limits, meaning they may be reelected indefinitely
. All 435 seats in the House are up for election every two years during both midterm and presidential election years
. This frequent election cycle ensures that representatives remain accountable to their constituents and responsive to the public's priorities
. In summary:
- Representatives serve two-year terms.
- Elections occur every even-numbered year (e.g., 2024, 2026).
- All House seats are contested in each election cycle.
- There are no term limits for House members.
This system contrasts with the U.S. Senate, where senators serve six-year staggered terms
