    Proposed Idaho Constitutional Amendment HJR 4

    aaa

    The Idaho Constitution currently sets the number of legislative districts and the number of Idaho senators to be within a range of not less than 30 nor more than 35 members (and this is the same for districts).  It also designates that the number of House of Representative members to be two times as many members as the Senate. 

    HJR4 would make a change to this language to permanently set the number of legislative districts to 35 and the number of senators to 35 (with twice as many representatives).  Since 1992 there have been 35 legislative districts in Idaho.  After the 2020 national census, there will be a change in district boundary lines.  There is a re-districting committee set up to change legislative districts in Idaho. 

    “I voted against this proposed amendment in session because I found it unnecessary, I believe it hurts rural areas, and I would like to eventually see one Senator per county to balance the state’s rural vs. urban community representation.”  – Heather Scott, District 1
