The 'House of Representatives' is the elected Lower House of the bicameral Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago. The House of Representatives sits in the Red House in Port of Spain. It has 36 members, each elected to represent single-seat constituencies. The Parliament is elected with a five-year life-span, but may be dissolved earlier by the President at any time if so advised by the Prime Minister.
After an election, the person with the most support among the members of the House is appointed Prime Minister and asked to form a government. With the exception of 1995 and 2001 this has been the leader of the party which wins a majority of seats in the house.
Five additional constituencies will be added in the next election, bringing the total number of seats to 41.
