The2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida were held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, to elect the 27U.S. representatives from the state ofFlorida , one from each of the state's 27 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, includingPresident of the United States .
A lawsuit challenging the districts under Florida's Congressional District Boundaries Amendment (Fair Districts Amendment) was filed in 2012 and was resolved in 2015. The results of the lawsuit had major repercussions on the congressional races in Florida in 2016. The primaries were held on August 30.
