Section 2. The legislative assembly shall fix the number of senators and
representatives and divide the state into as many senatorial districts of
compact and contiguous territory as there are senators. The districts thus
ascertained and determined after the 1990 federal decennial census shall
continue until the adjournment of the first regular session after each federal
decennial census, or until changed by law.

The legislative assembly shall
guarantee, as nearly as is practicable, that every elector is equal to every
other elector in the state in the power to cast ballots for legislative
candidates. A senator and at least two representatives must be apportioned to
each senatorial district and be elected at large or from subdistricts from
those districts. The legislative assembly may combine two senatorial districts
only when a single member senatorial district includes a federal facility or
federal installation, containing over two-thirds of the population of
a single member senatorial district, and may provide for the election of
senators at large and representatives at large or from subdistricts from those
districts.
