The 2022 Sierran federal election in Bajaría took place on 24 November 2022 where all 42 seats of Bajaría to the K.S. House of Commons will be up for election. In the previous election in 2021, the Progressive Democratic Party won the largest number of seats at 17 despite the Conservative Unionist Party winning the largest percentage of the popular vote at 5.01% to the Progressive Democrats' 4.22%. This was the first election since Bajaría's creation that the Green Party of Bajaría and Libertarian Party of Bajaría participated in after both of them abstained from the 2021 federal election due to them still being formed and only got official registration a month after the election.
The election ended with the Conservative Unionists winning the biggest plurality of seats, a net gain of two and ended with 16 seats in total out of Bajaria's 42 to the House of Commons. The Progressive Democrats won 14 seats, a net decrease by three, while the Democratic Party lost two seats and only won eight seats in total while the Social Unionist Party won five seats in total, winning a single seat. Both the Green Party and Libertarians won several thousand votes, but did not win enough to win any seats to the House of Commons. The election's results are seen as a form of electoral backlash to Susan Kwon over her handling of the border crisis between the Kingdom of Sierra and Mexico along with issues of narco terrorism and violence from drug cartels from Mexico such as the Nayarit Cartel.

Election date
The original election date was scheduled for not later than March 2026 prior to September 2022. Following the start of the government crisis on September 25, the K.S. parliament passed the Early Parliamentary Federal Election Act of 2022 which scheduled November 24, 2022 as the new election date for the next federal election. Like all federal elections, all seats in Bajaría will be up for election and will be held using a party-list system in accordance with the Electoral Reform Act of 2021 which replaced the previous system of first-past-the-post.
