The Seventy-Fifth Wisconsin Legislature convened from Шаблон:Nowrap to Шаблон:Nowrap in regular session. This was the first time that the legislative session was kept open for the entire term of the legislature.[1]
This session represents the second time the Legislature failed to pass a redistricting act on schedule. Ultimately, the legislature and governor would not be able to agree on a redistricting act in the 1960s, and for the first time in state history, the maps would be drawn by the Wisconsin Supreme Court (in 1964).
Senators representing even-numbered districts were newly elected for this session and were serving the first two years of a four-year term. Assembly members were elected to a two-year term. Assembly members and even-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 8, 1960. Senators representing odd-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of a four-year term, having been elected in the general election of November 4, 1958.[1]
