Question 24 of 128 · American Government · System of Government

How many voting members are in the House of Representatives?

Accepted answer

  • Four hundred thirty-five (435)

Why this is the answer

The House of Representatives has 435 voting members. The seats are divided among the states by population, and each state is cut into congressional districts that elect one representative each. Every state gets at least one seat; today California, the most populous state, has 52 representatives and Wyoming, the least populous, has one. Memory hook: 435 in the House, 100 in the Senate, and the House number is the one that depends on population.
