Iowa Constitution
Article III - OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF POWERS.
§ 34 Senate and house of representatives — limitation.
The senate shall be composed of not more than fifty
and the house of representatives of not more than one hundred members.
Senators and representatives shall be elected from districts established
by law. Each district so established shall be of compact and contiguous
territory. The state shall be apportioned into senatorial and
representative districts on the basis of population. The general
assembly may provide by law for factors in addition to population, not
in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, which may be
considered in the apportioning of senatorial districts. No law so
adopted shall permit the establishment of senatorial districts whereby a
majority of the members of the senate shall represent less than forty
percent of the population of the state as shown by the most recent
United States decennial census.
