1947 United States House of Representatives elections

United States House of Representatives special elections


There were twelve special elections in 1947 to the United States House of Representatives during the 80th United States Congress. Each party held all of its seats elected in 1947, with the majority Republican Party keeping its seven seats, and President Harry Truman's Democratic Party keeping its five. Therefore, no party lost or gained U.S House seats in 1947.

Of the twelve vacancies, seven were caused by the incumbent's death during their term or before their term after they had been elected to it. Five resigned during their term.
