The 2022 Antillean House of Representatives elections took place on 8 November 2022 to the United Commonwealth House of Representatives as part of the 2022 midterm elections and was held during the first term of president Arian Lawrence. All 234 seats in the House of Representatives were up for election in all four provisional commonwealths. The elections were held alongside concurrent races to other federal, commonwealth, parish and local races as well including the 2022 Senate elections and elections to TBD governorships. The Federalist Party retained a majority in the House, winning 28 seats in the previous election in 2020 against the Civic Democrats.
The election ended with little change in the balance of power, minus one pickup by the Civic Democratic Party in Hispaniola. While Arian Lawrence declared the election a victory, it has been viewed as a underwhelming showing for both major parties with the Federalist Party failing to make any net gains on any level of government and the Civic Democrats only making a net gain of one seat. Analysts have credited Lawrence's foreign policy, specifically his leadership during the Caribbean diplomatic crisis against the United Commonwealth and the Chattanooga Pact and an increase in support for the Antilles worldwide, however his controversial domestic policy has been cited as a reason for a lack of gains in the House. Several races saw Federalist candidates win by single-digit margins, even in traditionally red districts, and a surge of support for the Civic Democrats, especially among young and racial minority voters, has been documented and continues to grow.
