The House of Representatives has how many voting members?

• A. 430
• B. 435
• C. 440
• D. 450

Answer: (B)

The House’s voting membership is fixed at 435. After each decennial census, seats are redistributed among the states to reflect population changes, but the total number of voting members stays at 435. Each state gets at least one representative, with more representatives allocated to more populous states. In addition to these voting members, there are non-voting delegates from Washington, D.C., and several U.S. territories who can participate in debates and committees but cannot vote on the House floor. So the number you’re looking for is 435.
