2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida
The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the 28 U.S. representatives from the state of Florida, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with the U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections.
Florida's congressional districts have faced heavy accusations of partisan and racial gerrymandering to minimize the voting power of black Floridians. Florida's congressional map is currently being challenged in court. Primary elections will take place on August 20th.
Background
On September 2, 2023, a Florida judge ruled that Florida's congressional map, created by Governor Ron DeSantis, violated the Florida Constitution and cannot be used for any future House elections. The issue was specifically on Florida's 5th district, then represented by Democrat Al Lawson, which was removed and replaced by a Republican-leaning district. This was controversial because the district had an African-American plurality. The state's successful appeal is to be challenged in front of the Florida Supreme Court, but the court's timeline makes it unlikely a redrawn map will be created by election time. A concurrent federal lawsuit is also in progress.
