Ohio's at-large congressional district


Ohio's At-large congressional district existed from 1803 to 1813, from 1913 to 1915, from 1933 to 1953 and from 1963 until 1967, when it was banned by the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

From statehood in 1803 until the 1813 redistricting following the 1810 census, Ohio had only one member of the United States House of Representatives: Jeremiah Morrow.

After the 1810 census, the at-large seat was eliminated. It was reinstated after the 1910 census.

From the 1930 census to the 1940 census, there were two seats elected at-large, on a general ticket.

In 1953, the seat was eliminated. It was restored in 1963.

In 1967, the seat was eliminated, and constituted instead as Ohio's 24th congressional district, until its elimination after the Census of 1970.
