  1. congressional district

    A congressional district is a geographical area within a U.S. state that is represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. The number of districts each state has is determined by the U.S. Census which is conducted every ten years; the more populous the state, the more districts it is likely to have. Each district is intended to represent approximately the same number of people. The boundaries of these districts can be subject to modification or "redistricting", a process often influenced by political considerations.
