Plural district

Multi-member districts were used at different times to elect the United States House of Representatives, with alternating prohibitions and allowances enacted in history.

The first federal (national) ban on multi-member districts for the House was by the 1842 Apportionment Bill.

They did so on a single ballot where each voter had as many votes as seats being filled (block voting) or using distinct ballots, in separate concurrent contests for each seat (conducting separate plurality elections in the same district).

The New Hampshire House of Representatives uses differently-sized districts with up to 10 members and block plurality voting.

This is a table of every instance of the use of plural districts in the United States Congress until the first ban, which was enacted in 1842.
