General ticket representation is a particular method of electing members of a multi-member state delegation to the
United States House of Representatives. States using this method elected their entire delegation in a statewide manner, either on a single ballot (by means of
bloc voting) or on separate ballots for each seat, but always allowing every voter in the state to vote for a candidate for each seat. It was a system used frequently until restricted by the 1842
Apportionment Bill and subsequent legislation, most recently in 1967. After 1842 it was used only occasionally when permitted for states with small delegations or in the years immediately following their admission to the union.
