Description

By this appeal appellants seek a review of an order of the district court which held that the present apportionment of the Idaho legislature is unconstitutional as violative of Idaho Constitution art. 3, § 5, which reads: SENATORIAL AND REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICTS -- A senatorial or representative District, when more than one county shall constitute the same, shall be composed of contiguous counties, and no county shall be divided in creating such districts. (Emphasis supplied.) It is undisputed that thirty-four of the thirty-five legislative districts created by House Bill 830 of the second session of the Forty-fifth Legislature (codified as I.C. § 67-202) contain a portion of a divided county. Twenty-two of the thirty-five legislative districts join all or a portion of one county with portions of one or more other counties, in apparent direct violation of the constitutional prohibition against dividing counties to form senatorial or representative districts.
