The '''North Dakota House of Representatives''' is the lower house of the [[North Dakota Legislative Assembly]], 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.
The House Chamber is located in the [[North Dakota State Capitol]] in [[Bismarck, North Dakota]].
