How Many Congressional Districts (Constituencies) Are in the USA?

The United States House of Representatives comprises 435 voting members, each elected from a single-member congressional district. These 435 districts are apportioned among the 50 states based on population (via the decennial census), with each state guaranteed at least one district.

Non-Voting Delegates

In addition, there are six non-voting delegates representing:

  • District of Columbia
  • Puerto Rico (Resident Commissioner, 4-year term)
  • American Samoa
  • Guam
  • U.S. Virgin Islands
  • Northern Mariana Islands

These delegates can vote in committees and introduce legislation but cannot vote on the House floor.

Total

435 voting districts + 6 non-voting delegations = 441 total constituencies represented in the House.

Senate Note

The Senate has 100 members (2 per state), not elected by districts but by entire states.
