The Indiana House of Representatives is the lower house of the Indiana General Assembly, the state legislature of the U.S. state of Indiana. The House is composed of 100 members representing an equal number of constituent districts. House members serve two-year terms without term limits. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, each State House district contains an average of 64,838 people.
The House convenes at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis.
Districts in Indiana are among the most gerrymandered in the United States - analysis showing that if Hoosier Republicans receive at least 56 percent of the statewide vote they will likely hold around 70 percent of seats.[1]
