Материал из Онлайн справочника
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox legislative term The Eightieth Wisconsin Legislature convened from Шаблон:Nowrap to Шаблон:Nowrap in regular session, and also convened in a special session in April 1972.[1]
The April 1972 special session was called to come to a final agreement on a pivotal redistricting plan, which eliminated an Assembly district and broke the longstanding precedent of adhering to county boundaries.
Senators representing odd-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 odd-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 3, 1970. Senators representing even-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of a four-year term, having been elected in the general election of November 5, 1968.[1]
