The1850–51 United States House of Representatives electionswere held on various dates in various states between August 5, 1850, and November 4, 1851. Each state set its own date for its elections to theHouse of Representativesbefore the first session of the32nd United States Congressconvened on December 1, 1851. Elections were held for all 233 seats, representing 31 states.

TheDemocratsgained 17 seats, increasing their majority relative to the rivalWhigs,who lost 22 seats. Incumbent WhigPresidentMillard Fillmore,who succeeded to the Presidency in July 1850 after the death of more charismatic GeneralZachary Taylor,lacked a strong political base. TheCompromise of 1850,which admittedCaliforniaalone as a free state in exchange for concessions to slave state interests, began integration of theMexican Cession.It appeared in the short term that Congress had politically feasible options to containsectionalismand to reduce tensions over expandingslaveryin the West. This optimism soon would prove unfounded.

TheUnionist Party,formed in support of theCompromise of 1850,gained 10 seats in the South, as did theStates' Rights Party.TheFree Soil Party,which opposed the expansion of slavery into the Western territories, lost five seats and was reduced to four Representatives, all inNew England.
