House of Representatives Elections
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are elected to two-year
terms in even-numbers years. In the event a representative dies,
resigns or is expelled, a special election is held to elect a
replacement. The Constitution establishes no limit on the number of
terms a person may serve in the House.
The four non-voting delegates to Congress from the District of Columbia,
Guam, the Virgin Islands and America Samoa are also elected to two-year
terms in even-numbered years, while Puerto Rico's non-voting resident
commissioner in Congress is elected to a four-year term in the same years
as presidential elections are held.
