Representatives in the United States House of Representatives are elected every two years. Elections are held in even-numbered years on Election Day, which is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November
. Key details include:
- Each representative serves a two-year term with no term limits
- All 435 seats in the House are up for election every two years, during both midterm and presidential election years
- Representatives are elected by voters in specific congressional districts within each state
- To be eligible, a representative must be at least 25 years old, a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and a resident of the state they represent
Thus, the entire House is renewed biennially, ensuring frequent accountability to the electorate.
