North Dakota Legislative Assembly

North Dakota is divided into between 40 and 54 legislative districts apportioned by population as determined by the decennial census. The 2000 redistricting plan provided for 47 districts. As each district elects 2 Representatives to the House, there are currently 94 Representatives in the House.

Representatives serve 4-year terms. Elections are staggered such that half the districts have elections every 2 years. Originally, the North Dakota Constitution limited members of the North Dakota House of Representatives to two-year terms, with all representatives standing for reelection at the same time. That practice continued until 1996, when the voters approved a constitutional amendment that changed the term for representatives to four-years with staggered terms. The amendment went into effect July 1, 1997, and was first applied in the 1998 elections.[2][3] Every two years half the districts elect both their representatives by block voting.

The House Chamber is located in the North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck, North Dakota.

gollark: Also probably `term` and a few browser functions for navigation and whatnot.
gollark: Yes, something like that/
gollark: You can just provide a very limited set of functions and not suffer from that.
gollark: PotatOS's sandbox has problems all over the place because it's complicated and exposes a lot of things because it needs CraftOS backward compatibility.
gollark: You could do it securely too if you actually listened to my advice.
