The '''North Dakota House of Representatives''' is the lower house of the [[North Dakota Legislative Assembly]] and is larger than the [[North Dakota Senate]].
North Dakota is divided into between 40 and 54 legislative districts apportioned by population as determined by the decennial [[census]]. The 2000 redistricting plan provided for 47 districts. As each district elects 2 Representatives to the House, there are currently 94 Representatives in the House.
Representatives serve 4-year terms. Elections are staggered such that half the districts have elections every 2 years. Originally, the North Dakota Constitution limited members of the North Dakota House of Representatives to two-year terms, with the all representatives standing for reelection at the same time. That practice continued until 1996, when the voters approved a [[constitutional amendment]] that changed the term for representatives to four-years with staggered terms. The amendment went into effect July 1, 1997, and was first applied in the 1998 elections.
The House Chamber is located in the [[North Dakota State Capitol]] in [[Bismarck, North Dakota]].
