Series 2024: Reapportionment Files. 1966-1994.
Legislature (RG 47).

      Files from the Joint Standing Committee on Reapportionment that describe the efforts by the Legislature to reapportion Mississippi's U.S. Congressional seats and the Mississippi House and Senate from the late 1970s when court ordered reapportionment was decreed under the 1965 Voters Rights Act. These files include various plans for reapportionment, bills and concurrent resolutions, court case filings, and various research material. The files are generally arranged chronologically except for a large number of maps that were not dated and thus filed alphabetically.
