A reapportionment drafted by the Secretary of State was approved by the Oregon Supreme Court in In Re Legislative Apportionment, 228 Or. 575, 365 P.2d 1042 (1961), and became law upon filing with the Governor on October 27, 1961.

After adjournment of the 1971 Regular Session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly, the Secretary of State, pursuant to section 6 (3), Article IV, Oregon Constitution, made a reapportionment, which became law upon filing with the Governor on July 30, 1971. The Oregon Supreme Court reviewed that reapportionment in Hovet v.
