The 2024 Ohio House of Representatives election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect representatives in all 99 districts of the Ohio House of Representatives. Members were elected in single-member constituencies to two-year terms. These elections were held concurrently with various federal and state elections, including for U.S. president, U.S. Senate, and the Ohio Senate.
This election was held under different districts than the 2022 Ohio House of Representatives election because in September 2023, the Ohio Redistricting Commission approved a new set of maps for both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly. Unlike the five previous district maps adopted by the redistricting commission, the newest map was upheld by the Ohio Supreme Court in November 2023, allowing it to go into effect from the 2024 election through the 2030 election.
Partisan background
In the 2020 presidential election, Trump won 64 Ohio House districts, while Biden won 35. As the 2024 election neared, Republicans held six districts where Biden won, including areas around Columbus, Akron, Toledo, Canton, and Mahoning County. Meanwhile, Democrats represented three districts where Trump won, including parts of Northeast Cuyahoga, suburban Lucas County, and Mahoning County.
