House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) alerted members of his conference that leadership elections are slated to be held Nov. 17, multiple GOP sources told The Hill.
The notice comes just six days ahead of Election Day.
The vote on who will hold the top spots in the House Republican conference will happen on the second day the lower chamber is scheduled to be back in session.
While the top three House Republicans — McCarthy, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (La.) and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (Wyo.) — are running unopposed, some members have quietly discussed a push to move back the leadership election date depending on the outcome of the election.
According to the notice, conference rules for the 117th Congress and Steering Committee structure ratification are slated to be voted upon Nov. 18.
After the Steering Committee is ratified, the panel will meet at a later date to select which members lead and sit on committees.
