Each member of the US House of Representatives is elected by the voters of his or her Congressional District within the state he or she serves. Representatives serve a two-year term of office, and all 435 seats come up for election at once, in even-numbered years.
Congressional Districts
A Congressional District is a geographic area within a state. Most states have more than one district, and each district is supposed to contain roughly the same number of voters to ensure fair representation.
The Governor and State Legislature determine the boundaries of each area after they receive the results the most recent ten-year US Census. If the population has changed significantly from the previous census the state redraws the map, a process called "redistricting." This can be controversial because whichever party is in power may try to redistrict in an unfair (and unconstitutional) way that benefits their party's interests (gerrymandering).
