0N-3-5 Legislative reapportionment. The Legislature shall
apportion its membership by dividing the state into as many
single-member, legislative districts as there are state
senators. House districts shall be established wholly within
senatorial districts and shall be either single-member or dual-
member districts as the Legislature shall determine. Legislative
districts shall consist of compact, contiguous territory and
shall have population as nearly equal as is practicable, based
on the last preceding federal census. An apportionment shall be
made by the Legislature in 1983 and in 1991, and every ten years
after 1991. Such apportionment shall be accomplished by December
first of the year in which the apportionment is required. If any
Legislature whose duty it is to make an apportionment shall fail
to make the same as herein provided, it shall be the duty of the
Supreme Court within ninety days to make such History: Amendment
