There are 435 voting members from the states, apportioned according to population. In addition, there are 6 non-voting members from the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands, which elect delegates identical to regular representatives but without voting powers. Puerto Rico elects a resident commissioner to a four-year term. The non-voting delegates are allowed to participate in debate and vote in committees. They may only vote in the Committee of the Whole when their vote would not decide the fate of a bill.
