Members of the American Samoa House of Representatives are elected by universal suffrage to serve two-year terms.1
It is important to note that this process differs from the selection of the Senate, where members are chosen by councils of chiefs in accordance with Samoan custom. Additionally, one nonvoting delegate to the House is elected specifically from Swains Island.1
