Line 4:	Line 4:
- The Monroe County Legislature is a parliamentary body representing the citizens of [#district_maps 29 districts] in Monroe County, New York. Consistent with the "one man, one vote" doctrine first introduced by the Supreme Court in 1964, legislative districts are drawn according to population, each possessing approximately 25,000 citizens, within a small tolerance. The organization of districts is reviewed every decade in accordance with the most recently released [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Census U.S. Census].	+ The Monroe County Legislature is a parliamentary body representing the citizens of [#district_maps 29 districts] in Monroe County, New York. Consistent with the "one man, one vote" doctrine first introduced by the Supreme Court in 1964, legislative districts are drawn according to population, each possessing approximately 1/29th of the county population, within a 10% tolerance. The organization of districts is reviewed every decade in accordance with the most recently released [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Census U.S. Census].
Line 6:	Line 6:
- This review and revision of districts, commonly referred to as "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redistricting redistricting]," is the responsibility of the Legislature. The last redistricting in Monroe County was done in 2001. In that most recent redistricting round, the new district map was assembled by the Monroe County Board of Elections and approved by the Legislature. However, the Legislature is not bound to this specific method, and can use whatever method the Legislators prefer, provided that the result is an equal number of citizens per district. The new district map is bundled into a bill to be voted on, and if that bill passes the Legislature's approval, it moves on to the County Executive's office to be signed into law. - == Elections and Term Limits == - The Legislative districts in Monroe County are redistricted outlined in the previous section. The next election after the census (say, 2001, to make the math easy) elects Legislators to a four-year term. In the following election period, 2005, a random lottery is drawn from which 14 districts get picked to have 2-year terms and 15 are picked to have 4-year terms. Those that drew the 2-year term will be elected to a 4-year term in 2007 and those that got 4-year terms will get a 2-year term election in 2009. So, there is a cycle for ''Legislative districts'' to cycle between two and four year terms such that they each get 10-year cycles between Census.	+ This review and revision of districts is the responsibility of the Legislature. As of 2021, districts reflect the 2010 census. The new district map is bundled into a bill to be voted on, and if that bill passes the Legislature's approval, it moves on to the County Executive's office to be signed into law.
Line 10:	Line 8:
- Legislators are limited to 10-year terms. However, it is entirely possible that someone could be elected in 2007 to a 4-year term, win another election in 2011 (which is after the Census and therefore a 4-year term), then be in the district that gets a 4-year term for 2015, which would be 12 years total. In this case, the Legislator would forfeit the last two years and have his party select an interim replacement between 2017 and 2019.
