Elections to the United States House of Representatives were held in Pennsylvania on October 9, 1810, for the 12th Congress. The Federalists were in decline in Pennsylvania at this time. In six of the eleven districts there were no Federalist candidates.

Background

Eighteen Representatives had been elected in 1808, 16 Democratic-Republicans and 2 Federalists. One Democratic-Republican resigned and was replaced by another Representative from the same party, so that there was still a 16-2 division. Four of the Democratic-Republicans and two of the Federalists were "quids", a short-lived alliance of moderate Democratic-Republicans and Federalists. That was the last year in which the quids as a movement existed.

Congressional districts

Pennsylvania was divided into 11 districts, of which four were plural districts with 11 Representatives between them, with the remaining 7 Representatives elected from single-member districts. The districts were:

• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Delaware and Philadelphia counties (including the City of Philadelphia)
• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Bucks, Luzerne, Montgomery, Northampton, Susquehanna, and Wayne Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Berks, Chester, and Lancaster Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr (2 seats) consisted of Cumberland, Dauphin, Huntingdon, and Mifflin Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Bradford, Centre, Clearfield, Lycoming, McKean, Northumberland, Potter, and Tioga Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Adams and York Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Bedford and Franklin Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Armstrong, Cambria, Indiana, Jefferson, Somerset, and Westmoreland Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Fayette and Greene Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Washington County
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Crawford, Erie, Mercer, Venango, and Warren Counties

Note: Many of these counties covered much larger areas than they do today, having since been divided into smaller counties

Election results

Fifteen incumbents (14 Democratic-Republicans and 1 Federalist) ran for re-election, of whom ten were re-elected. The incumbents John Ross (DR) of the Шаблон:Ushr, Robert Jenkins (F) of the Шаблон:Ushr and Matthias Richards (DR) also of the 3rd district did not run for re-election. Two seats changed from Federalist to Democratic-Republican control and one seat changed from Democratic-Republican to Federalist control, for a net loss of 1 seat by the Federalists. In the 1st district, there was a split between three "New School" and one "Old School" Democratic-Republicans, which split the Democratic-Republican vote enough to allow one of the three seats in that district to be won by a Federalist.
