Official Opposition The House of Representatives is the elected lower house of the bicameral Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago, along with the President and Senate of Trinidad and Tobago.

It has 41 members, each elected to represent single-seat constituencies.

The Parliament is elected with a five-year term, but may be dissolved earlier by the President if so advised by the Prime Minister.

After an election, the person commanding the support of the most members of the House is appointed Prime Minister and asked to form a government.

This has implications for the calculation of special majority votes (42 members instead of 41).
