The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Indiana will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the nine U.S. representatives from the State of Indiana, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections will take place on May 5, 2026.
Failed redistricting attempt
In late 2025, as part of the broader 2025 U.S. redistricting cycle, President Donald Trump urged Indiana to redraw its congressional map to unseat Democratic Representatives Frank Mrvan (1st district) and André Carson (7th district). The proposal faced unexpected resistance in the Republican-supermajority Senate, with more than a dozen Republicans opposing it. Trump sought to pressure holdouts by threatening to back primary challengers against those who voted no. Separately, several senators received threats, including bomb threats and swatting calls, ahead of the vote. The measure passed the House 57âÂÂ41 on December 5, with twelve Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition, but failed in the Senate on December 11 by a 31âÂÂ19 vote, as 21 Republicans joined all 10 Democrats to defeat it.
