LEGISLATORS

California is divided into 40 State Senate Districts, each of which elects a member to the California State Legislature. Exactly twice the size of an Assembly district, each State Senator represents 840,000 people. Prior to 1968, state senate districts were restricted such that one county could only hold at most one seat. This led to the situation of Los Angeles County, with 6 million residents as of 1968, receiving 600 times less representation than residents of Alpine County and Calaveras County, some of California's least populous counties. The Reynolds v. Sims decision by the United States Supreme Court compelled all states to draw up districts that were apportioned by population rather than geography. As such, boundaries were changed such that equal representation was provided.

STATE ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS

California's State Assembly Districts are numbered 1 through 80. The California State Assembly is the lower house of the California State Legislature. There are 80 members to the Assembly, representing an equal amount of constituencies, with each district having a population of at least 420,000 citizens. Due to the state's large population and relatively small legislature, the Assembly has the largest population per representative ratio of any lower house legislature in the United States; only the federal U.S. House of Representatives has a larger ratio. Since a referendum in 1990, members to the Assembly are limited by term limits, limiting members to three two-year terms (six years).
