How many voting members are in the House of Representatives?

The House of Representatives is made up of 435 voting members. This number has been established since the reapportionment act of 1929 and is based on the population distribution across the states, which is determined by the United States Census conducted every ten years. The total of 435 ensures that representation in the House is managed in a way that reflects the population sizes of each state, while also maintaining a manageable size for legislative processes.

The options provided reflect numbers that do not align with the established count of voting members in the House. For instance, 100 or 200 do not accurately represent the size of the House, which is considerably larger to accommodate the diverse interests of the American populace. The option involving 500 exceeds the current composition, as it would complicate legislative governance and exceed the intended representation that 435 members effectively provide for the distribution of constituents across all states.
