Pennsylvania's At-large congressional district

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During the first three United States Congresses, Pennsylvania did not use congressional districts. Instead, it elected all of its allocated members to the United States House of Representatives at-large on a general ticket. The practice was discontinued in 1795. General ticket representation was prohibited by the 1842 Apportionment Bill and subsequent legislation, most recently in 1967 (Pub.L. 90-196, 2 U.S.C. ยง 2c).
