Rhode Island's at-large congressional district
The Rhode Island At-large congressional district is obsolete, with representation divided into two districts. However, based on population estimates, reapportionment will likely cause Rhode Island to have only one congressional district after the 2020 census.[1]
From 1790 to 1843, Rhode Island elected members to the United States House of Representatives at-large:
- From 1790 to 1793, one member represented the state.
- From 1793 to 1843, two members represented the state at-large.
