USCIS Basic – Block 3 Practice Exam

What is the total number of voting members in the House of Representatives?

300 435 500 250

Correct Answer:

435

Explanation:

The total number of voting members in the House of Representatives is 435. This number has remained consistent since the Apportionment Act of 1911, which established the size of the House at 435 members. Each member of the House represents a congressional district, and the allocation of these districts is determined by the population of each state as calculated by the U.S. Census every ten years. This ensures that representation in the House reflects changes in the population. The House is designed to provide equal representation based on population, which is why having a fixed number of voting members is vital for maintaining this balance across the states.
