1854 House Background

The 1854 U.S. House election chose members for the House of Representatives for the Congress beginning the following January. The app includes an interactive state-level results map for this cycle.

Key Notes

  • Unlike the Senate, every voting House seat is normally up for election every two years.
  • District boundaries can change after each census, so historical House maps depend on the correct district geography for that cycle.
