General elections were held in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina on 7 October 2018 as part of the Bosnian general elections. Voters elected the 98 members of the House of Representatives of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the assemblies of the cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Party of Democratic Action (SDA) emerged as the largest party in the House of Representatives, winning 27 of the 98 seats. The Social Democratic Party (SDP BiH) and the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ BiH) each won 16 seats. The Democratic Front won 10 seats, down four from the previous general election in 2014. The Union for a Better Future saw a significant decline, winning 8 seats, down eight from the previous election. Our Party significantly improved its result, winning 6 seats, up by five from 2014.

Fadil Novalić remained in office as Prime Minister, since the parties never were able to form a new government, most notably due to constant quarrel between the SDA and the HDZ BiH, as well as the SDP BiH refusing to form a government alongside the SDA.
