Do you mean a particular state’s House of Delegates (for example Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia)? Or are you asking generally whether legislative “houses of delegates” have term limits?
Quick summary while you decide:
- Most U.S. state legislatures do NOT impose term limits on members. Many state lower chambers (even when called “House of Delegates”) allow unlimited successive terms.
- Examples:
- Virginia House of Delegates: 2‑year terms, no term limits.
- Maryland House of Delegates: 4‑year terms, no term limits.
- West Virginia House of Delegates: 2‑year terms, no term limits.
- The U.S. House of Representatives (federal) also has 2‑year terms and no term limits.
If you tell me which jurisdiction you mean, I can give the exact term length, whether term limits exist, and the governing statute or constitutional provision. If you’re interested in how to establish term limits (procedures, ballot initiatives, legal issues), I can explain that too.
