Each Senate district is divided into two House districts. Members of the General Assembly are elected in the general election in even-numbered years. Every two years, one representative is elected from each House district for a two-year term. Senate districts are divided into three groups, and one or two groups of senators are elected every two years. Each group has a two-year term at a different part of the decade between censuses, with the rest taken up by two four-year terms.
After each decennial census conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, the House and Senate districts are redrawn. The new districts are the basis for the next general election, and the new districts take effect in the General Assembly after that election.
Thus, after the 2020 Census, the state House and Senate districts were redrawn in 2021. These districts were used as the basis for the general election held in November 2022. They took effect with the beginning of the subsequent General Assembly in January 2023. These districts will be used until December 2032.
