Question 34 of 128 · American Government · System of Government

Who elects members of the House of Representatives?

Accepted answer

  • Citizens from their (congressional) district

Why this is the answer

Members of the House are elected by the citizens of their congressional district, every two years. There is no intermediate step: no governor appoints them and no other body confirms them. The voters of the district choose, and two years later they choose again. Memory hook: the district elects its representative directly.
