1814–15 United States House of Representatives elections
(Redirected from 1815 Kentucky's 2nd congressional district special election)
The 1814–15 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between April 26, 1814 and August 10, 1815. Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives before the first session of the 14th United States Congress convened on December 4, 1815. They occurred during President James Madison's second term. Elections were held for all 182 seats, representing 18 states.

This election happened in the middle of the War of 1812. The war was extremely unpopular in certain regions, particularly New England. The failed American invasion of Upper Canada (Ontario) and the 1814 Burning of Washington were embarrassing military setbacks, but the Democratic-Republican Party remained dominant and the declining Federalist Party was unable to convert war opposition into political gain.
This election marked the first in American history where the incumbent president's party gained House seats in a midterm election while still losing seats in the Senate, this happened again in 1822 and 1902.
