The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the seven U.S. representatives from the state of South Carolina, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections took place on June 9, and in races where no candidate receives over 50% in a primary, runoff elections took place on June 23.[1]

Failed redistricting attempt

[edit]

Background

[edit]

In June 2025, the South Carolina Supreme Court heard arguments in League of Women Voters v. Alexander, as to whether the congressional maps are an unlawful partisan gerrymander in violation of the state's constitution.[2] In September 2025, the court ruled that partisan gerrymandering is not in violation of the state's constitution, repeatedly referencing the 2019 SCOTUS case Rucho v. Common Cause, leaving the current map in place.[3]

Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais, Governor Henry McMaster called a special legislative session in May 2026 to consider redistricting and the state house approved a new map that would redraw the state's sole majority-minority district. However, the state senate ultimately voted against advancing the map after it became clear that passage would occur after the start of early voting in the state's primary election.[4]
