Iowa House advances reapportionment plan amid census delay
Pressure in the Iowa House pushes a reapportionment bill forward as the Senate debates bipartisan commissions. Despite momentum, officials say no binding action will occur before the 1981 session ends and the 1980 census data arrive. Burks and Nystrom note states’ timetables limit urgency. The goal is to ready the computer program and data base by June 1 with a Sept. 1 constitutional deadline looming.

The article notes the General Assembly may fail to agree on reapportionment guiding Iowa’s six congressional districts. Burks and Nystrom say courts could decide next year as in 1970, with projections suggesting Iowa will keep six seats. Some lawmakers focus on politics, not urgency, while past experiences inform future procedures.
