Members per district
The
Vermont Constitution (Chapter 2, Section 13) requires that House districts be limited to one or two members. Representatives in two-member districts are electedat-large throughout the district. There are 66 single-member and 42 two-member districts.Apportionment process
The process of drawing district lines and apportioning representatives is spelled out in detail in Title 17, Chapter 34A of the
Vermont Statutes [http://www.leg.state.vt.us/statutes/sections.cfm?Title=17&Chapter=034A] .An initial plan divided the state into a number of districts ranging from one to fifteen members. The boards of civil authority in those towns in multi-member districts met (in joint sessions, where more than one town was involved) to decide on a plan to subdivide the district into one or two member sub-districts, in accordance with the Vermont Constitution's requirement that representative districts be one or two members. The legislature then enacted the finalized plan. The initial division and subsequent sub-divisions are contained in Title 17, Chapter 34 of the
