At-Large

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At-Large is a designation for representatives who are not elected or appointed to represent a subset of a whole membership (of, for instance, a club or association, or a city, state or nation) but rather the whole membership. More specifically, in the case of the United States House of Representatives, it is a representative who is elected not to represent a district but the state as a whole in the House.

As an elective system, at-large voting is in contrast to bloc voting and general ticket voting.
