Federal electorate districts in the United States are called Congressional Districts.
Federal electorate districts in the United States are called Congressional Districts.
States are divided into districts. Each district is entitle to elect one member to the United States House of Representatives. Each representative equals one electoral vote and each senator represents one electoral vote. All states have two senators, no more, no less. But states have 1 or more representatives depending on how many districts they have. So, if Georgia has 15 Electoral College votes, and we know two are from senators, then the other 13 must be from representatives. Thus Georgia has 13 H/R Congressional districts. Hope this helps you make a good grade on your political science quiz! LOL
If a state has four members in the house of representatives, that state will have a total of 6 representatives at the electoral college. The state has one for each representative and one for each senator. Every state has 2 senators, so the state will have 4 for the representatives and 2 for the senators.
Electoral districts (or "ridings") are the areas from which members of the House of Commons are elected, and for which those members are responsible for representing. There are currently 308 electoral districts. The number and boundaries of electoral districts are revisited and revised every ten (10) years.See Related Links for the most recent set-up of electoral districts.
There are six (6) federal electoral districts representing Mississauga in the House of Commons: Mississauga-Brampton South; Mississauga South; Mississauga-Streetsville; Mississauga-Erindale; Bramalea-Gore-Malton; and Mississauga East-Cooksville. There are also six (6) provincial electoral districts representing Mississauga in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. These electoral districts exactly mirror the electoral districts used for federal purposes.
States don't really have electoral districts - they have electoral votes allocated based on the total of their senators and representatives. Each state thus has at LEAST 3 electors since each has 2 senators and at least one US Representative. A state with 6 seats in the US House of Representatives gets 8 electoral votes. A state with 12 US Representatives gets 14 electoral votes - and so forth. Most states appoint their electors on a winner-take-all basis, based on the statewide popular vote on Election Day. Maine and Nebraska are the only two current exceptions. Maine and Nebraska distribute their electoral votes proportionally, with two at-large electors representing the statewide winning presidential and vice-presidential candidates and one elector each representing the winners from each of their Congressional districts.
