The 2022 Satavian federal election was held on Thursday, 14 July 2022 and Friday, 15 July 2022 to elect all 152 representatives and 96 senators to the Parliament of Satavia. Elections were also held concurrently in the Diereplek, Hope and New Borland provinces. The snap election was called following the passage of amendments to the Satavia Act, and resulted in the ruling Conservative & Country party maintaining it's majority in the House of Representatives, but losing its majority in the Senate. It was the first snap election in Satavia's modern democratic era.

Following the victory for the Conservative & Country party, the High Court confirmed the amendments to the Satavia Act three days after the election, on Monday, 18 July. In accordance with the electoral boundary comissions recommendations and the passage of the Satavia Act, 2022 the Central Territory and the National Capital District sent members to the House of Representatives for the first time since 2000, and the total number of Representatives increased from 149 to 152, and Senators from 80 to 96.

The Conservative & Country party won 84 seats, maintaining their previous number of seats in the House of Representatives and won 45 seats in the Senate, losing six seats and falling four seats shy of a majority. On Sunday, 17 July, two days after voting began, Conservative & Country leader Arthur Warwick announced that they had formed a coalition with the United Party. Two days later, on Tuesday, 19 July, Warwick also announced that his party had entered into a confidence-and-supply agreement with Satavia First, whose leader Jannie Swart replaced Gerald Hardwick as Secretary of State for Education. Warwick announced a cabinet reshuffle in the aftermath of the electoral victory, which saw new United Party leader Parker Lawson appointed Deputy Prime Minister, in addition to the United Party gaining three ministries, whilst Satavia First gained one.

The Liberal party, lead by new leader Blake Goodwin, secured 48 seats in the House of Representatives, an increase of 15, whilst also securing 43 seats in the Senate, forcing the Conservative & Country party to enter a coalition with United. United, lead into the election by Rian Pienaar, suffered a huge defeat, earning only 427,000 votes (equivilant to three seats in the Senate) whilst losing twelve seats in the House of Representatives, winning just eight seats. Pienaar, contesting the Division of Fox, was himself defeated and resigned as leader of the United Party as a result, handing over leadership to Parker Lawson as a result. The Labour & Social Democratic party, despite maintaining their three senators and eight representatives, whilst also increasing their share of the popular vote by over 140,000 suffered some crucial defeats, including in the Division of Harris where Labour leader Ian Jackson was unseated, prompting his resignation as leader of the Labour & Social Democratic party.
