America is divided up into 435 congressional districts with each district having the power to elect one representative to the House. All 435 were up for election yesterday. Prior to the election the Republicans controlled 247 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, with 218 needed for a majority. In addition to the 435 voting representatives, there are also six non-voting representatives from US territories or Washington DC who are only allowed a say in relevant House committees.
The total number of seats in the House of Representatives was fixed at 435 by the Reapportionment Act of 1929, creating one congressional district for each 674,000 residents (approximately). Each state is guaranteed at least one Representative, regardless of population.he 2010 US Census resulted in the reapportionment of seats in the House to the number of representatives shown below for each state, beginning with the 113th Congress (2013-2014).
