If the state currently has (or once had but no longer has) an ''At-large'' district, then the field "AL" should be included with non-blank data.

If the state has '''never''' had more than one district (e.g. Alaska), then the field "dists" should be blank or 0 (zero) and the field "AL" should be included with non-blank data.

If the state had a territorial district, then the field "territory" should be included with non-blank data.

If the state name has more than one word, supply the "abbrev" field.

This template creates navigation box for a state's congressional districts.

  • If the state currently has (or once had but no longer has) an At-large district, then the "AL" field should be included with non-blank data.
  • If a current territory (or Federal district) elects non-voting delegates (or Resident Commissioners) but not Senators or Representatives then, the "state" field should be filled with the territory's name. Then the "current territory" field should be set to "yes". For states, the "current territory" field may be left blank or be filled with any data other than "yes".
  • If the state has never had more than one district (e.g. Alaska), then
    • the "districts" field should be blank or 0 (zero) and
    • the "AL" field should be included with non-blank data.
  • If the state had (in the past) a territorial district, then the "territory" field should be included with non-blank data. For current territories, the "territory" field must be left blank.
  • If the state has a state-specific redistricting article, put non-blank data in the "specific-redist" field to override the default link to the general Redistricting article.

Examples:

{{USCongDistState

| current           = 18
| obsolete          = The 19th – 26th and At-large districts are obsolete
| specific-redist   =
