🇬🇧 The House has elected a Speaker 127 times since 1789. In the modern era, the Speaker is elected at the beginning of the new Congress by a majority of the Representatives-elect from candidates separately chosen by the majority- and minority-party caucuses. In cases of an unexpected vacancy during a Congress a new Speaker is elected by a majority of the House from candidates previously chosen by the majority and minority parties.
There have been 14 instances of Speaker elections requiring multiple ballots (the records for the 2nd Congress, 1791–1793, are inconclusive, and the House has filled vacancies in the Speakership three times using a resolution). Thirteen of 14 multiple-ballot elections occurred before the Civil War, when party divisions were more nebulous. The last time a Speaker election required two or more votes on the floor happened in 1923.

Treze das 14 votações de voto múltiplo ocorreram antes da Guerra Civil, quando as divisões partidárias eram mais nebulosas. A última vez que uma eleição para presidente exigiu dois ou mais votos no plenário aconteceu em 1923.

Speaker Elections Decided by Multiple Ballots | US House of Representatives: History, Art & Archives

The House has elected a Speaker 128 times since 1789. The Speaker is elected at the beginning of the new Congress by a majority of the Representatives-elect from a selection of candidates nominated on the floor prior to the vote. Usually, those candidates are chosen separately by the majority- and minority-party caucuses in a closed-door vote before the start of a new Congress. Members-elect have three options during the election for Speaker: they may vote for a particular candidate; they may vote “present,” which registers their attendance but lowers the threshold needed to win; or they may abstain from the vote. From 1789 to 1839, lawmakers elected the Speaker using secret ballots. But since the opening of the 26th Congress (1839–1841), amid heightened sectional tensions over slavery, the House has elected the Speaker viva voce, by voice vote. In cases of an unexpected vacancy during a Congress a new Speaker is elected by a majority of the House from candidates nominated prior to the election.There have been 15 instances of Speaker elections requiring multiple ballots (the records for the 2nd Congress, 1791–1793, are inconclusive, and the House has filled vacancies in the Speakership three times using a resolution). Thirteen of 15 multiple-ballot elections occurred before the Civil War, when party divisions were more nebulous. The last time a Speaker election required two or more votes on the floor happened in 2023.
