South Carolina During the 1900s - The 101st General Assembly (1975-1976)




South Carolina During the 1900s - The General Assembly

Members of the 101st General Assembly - 1975 to 1976
This 101st General Assembly convened in two regular sessions: The first session was held from January 14th to June 25th in 1975. The second session was held from January 13th to July 22nd in 1976. The SC General Assembly reapportioned the House of Representatives into one hundred-twenty-four (124) new election districts, each with one delegate elected. This new schema of 124 election districts was now the new mode and based upon the U.S. Census with districts of approximately equal population. After each U.S. Census the districts would be reapportioned, again based upon population. It usually took the SC General Assembly two to three years after each U.S. Census to work out the new apportionment. The SC Senate continued as before based on sixteen (16) election districts with forty-six (46) delegates.
