Current United States congressional district boundaires.

A congressional district in the United States is an electoral division for the purpose of electing members to the United States House of Representatives. The number of voting House seats is currently set at 435, with six non-voting delegates representing the country's five territories and the District of Columbia. The number of congressional districts also affects the number of electoral votes each state has in the Electoral College, as the number of electoral votes is equal to the number of congressional districts a state has plus two (for the state's Senate seats).

The Bureau of the Census conducts a constitutionally mandated decennial census whose figures are used to determine the number of congressional districts to which each state is entitled, in a process called "apportionment". Each state is responsible for the redistricting of districts within their state, and several states have one "at-large" division. Redistricting must take place if the number of members changes following a reapportionment, or may take place at any other time if demographics represented in a district have changed substantially. Districts may sometimes retain the same boundaries while changing their district numbers.
