Legislative Apportionment

Chapter I, Article 7 and Chapter II, Sections 13, 18, and 73 of the Vermont Constitution require the Vermont General Assembly to be periodically reapportioned. Reapportionment involves the review and re-drawing of legislative districts to ensure that Vermont's citizens have equal representation in the General Assembly in accordance with the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The current apportionment process is guided by Title 17, Sections 1901-1909 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated.
