What is one difference between district elections and elections at large? (1 point)

Question

• District elections are only for state elections.
• District elections occur less often than elections at large.
District elections are only for electing a mayor, while at-large elections are to elect city council members.
• District elections create a smaller number of constituents than elections at large.

Answer 1

The correct difference is: District elections create a smaller number of constituents than elections at large.

In district elections, representatives are elected from specific geographic areas (districts), resulting in a smaller electorate for each representative. In contrast, at-large elections are held for the entire jurisdiction, meaning all voters in the area participate in electing the representatives, leading to a larger number of constituents per elected official.
