Since Idaho became a U.S. state in 1890, it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives. Each state elects two senators to serve for six years, and members of the House to two-year terms. Before becoming a state, the Idaho Territory elected a non-voting delegate at-large to Congress from 1864 to 1890.
Idaho has two congressional districts. A state since 1890, it gained its second seat in the U.S. House for the 1912 election. Both seats were at-large selections on the ballot for three elections, until the two districts were established prior to the 1918 election.
Iowa is divided into four congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. The state's congressional map is roughly divided by quadrants in the northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest sections of Iowa.
