TheNorthern Mariana Islands' at-large congressional district encompasses the entireU.S. Commonwealth of theNorthern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The Commonwealth does not have a voting member ofCongress, but does elect adelegate who can participate in debates with theUnited States House of Representatives. On November 4, 2008, the first delegate waselected to the111th United States Congress which began on January 3, 2009.
From 1978 to 2009, in accordance with the Commonwealth'sConstitution, the Northern Mariana Islands elected a Resident Representative inWashington, D.C. who was not considered an official member of Congress.[1] They served two-year terms until 1990, when the terms were increased to four years.
Pursuant toPub. L. 110–229 (text)(PDF), the Northern Mariana Islands first elected a non-voting delegate to Congress in 2008, replacing the Resident Representative. Among nine candidates, independent candidateGregorio Sablan won the election with 24% of the votes, and incumbent Resident RepresentativePedro Agulto Tenorio (Republican) came in second with 21%. Sablan won re-election six times as an independent, but announced in 2021 that he would run as a Democrat for the2022 election.[2]
