Who elects members of the House of Representatives?

Members of the House of Representatives are elected directly by citizens from their specific congressional districts. This system ensures that each representative is accountable to a localized group of voters, reflecting the interests and needs of the community they serve. The Constitution mandates that Representatives be elected every two years, allowing citizens to have a regular opportunity to influence their leadership based on performance and the issues that matter to them.

The distinction of electing representatives from their districts emphasizes the localized nature of representation in the House, contrasting with the Senate, where each state elects two senators regardless of population. This structure is designed to ensure that all voices within a state, even those of smaller or less populous districts, have representation in the legislative process.
