The term is used as a suffix referring to specific members (such as the U.S. Congressional Representative/the Member/Rep. for Wyoming "at large"). It figures as a generic prefix of its subject matter (such as Wyoming is an at-large U.S. Congressional District, at present). It is commonly used when making or highlighting a direct contrast with subdivided equivalents that may be past or present, or seen in exotic comparators. If fairly applied it indicates that the described zone has no further subsets used for the same representative purpose. A fair exception is a nil-exceptions arrangement of overlapping tiers (resembling or being district and regional representatives, one set of which is "at large") for return to the very same chamber, and consequent issue of multiple ballots for plural voting to every voter. This avoids plural voting competing with single voting in the jurisdiction, an inherent different level of democratic power.
