The House of Representatives consists of 100 members elected from 100 House districts.
Representatives serve two-year terms.
The House is presided over by the Speaker of the House, who is elected by House members. A majority vote is required for election. In case no member receives a majority vote, a run off is held between the two top candidates. At the beginning of each session, the speaker appoints a member of the House to serve as Speaker Pro Tempore to preside in the absence of the speaker. The speaker may also appoint assistant speakers pro tempore.
