The House of Representatives has four hundred thirty-five (435) voting members. Each state's number of representatives depends on its population.
States with larger populations get more representatives. California has the most (52), while several small states have just one. The total of 435 was fixed by law in 1911.
The census, conducted every 10 years, determines how seats are distributed among the states.
Say: 'Four hundred thirty-five' or '435.'
