Virginia's At-large congressional district

Virginia's At-large congressional district

=48th Congress=

After the 1880 census, a tenth seat in the United States House of Representatives was added to Virginia's nine districts. For the 48th Congress (1883-03-04-1885-01-03), that seat was elected at-large state-wide. In 1885, Virginia redistricted its seats into ten geographic districts, thereby eliminating the at-large seat.

73rd Congress

For the 73rd Congress (1933-03-04-1935-01-03), Virginia did not use a district election format, but instead, elected all representatives in a state-wide, at-large manner. The district format was returned during the 74th Congress (1935-01-03-1937-01-03) and has been used in all congressional sessions thereafter.
