Members of the House of Representatives are elected by citizens who live in their congressional district. A congressional district is a specific area inside a state. Each district has about the same number of people. Only the citizens who live in that district can vote for their representative.
During an election, citizens choose the person they want to represent them in the House. The candidate who receives the most votes wins. This means the representative is chosen directly by the people in that district. Their job is to speak for those citizens in Congress.
