Multi-member districts in the United States refers to electoral districts in the United States of America which can send multiple individuals to represent the same district. Currently, these districts exist only at the level of state and local governments. There are no Congressional districts which can elect more than one representative for a local district.
There are several states which allow one district to elect more than one representative to the state legislature. Some states which employ this system appear below. [1][2][3]
The states below always use multi-member districts. [2]
