This provides a summary of the results of elections to the United States House of Representatives from the first election held variably in 1788 or 1789 (different states held elections at different times) to 1812. For more detailed results of each election, see the main page for that election. Information about the popular vote in early elections is not available as records of the popular vote were not kept. Parties with a majority in the House of Representatives are shown in bold.

1 The Federalist Party did not have any formal organization until 1794 and was before then referred to as "Pro-Administration".
2 Varyingly referred to as the Republicans, Jeffersonian Republicans and Democratic-Republicans, this party is not to be confused with the modern Republican Party and is in fact a forerunner of the modern Democratic Party. Like the Federalist Party, the Democratic-Republican Party had no formal organization until 1794 and was before then referred to as "Anti-Administration".
