The 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida were held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, to elect the 27 U.S. representatives from the state of Florida , one from each of the state's 27 congressional districts . The elections coincided with the elections of other offices, including a gubernatorial election , other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate , and various state and local elections . The party primaries were held on August 28, 2018.[ 1]
The state congressional delegation changed from a 16–11 Republican majority to a slim 14–13 Republican majority, one short from a Democratic flip. These were seen as the most seats Democrats had attained in Florida since 1982 . As noted in the vote table below, Florida does not count votes in uncontested races, so the votes in the four uncontested seats held by Democratic members of the House are not counted in the totals or percentages on this page, and each under counts the votes for Democrats in Florida.
