This year’s filing deadline for candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives in South Carolina was March 30, 2026.
Two districts are open this year because their incumbents — Rep. Nancy Mace (R-1st) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-5th) — are both retiring to run for governor of South Carolina. That’s the highest number of open districts in South Carolina since 2014. There was one open district in 2024, none in 2022, none in 2020, one in 2018, none in 2016, and none in 2014.
