No senator from district 12 is listed on the Iowa Official Register for General Assembly 60. This is the combined result of redistricting and election cycles and affected multiple districts.[5]
From 1846 to 1857, District numbering was not utilized by the Iowa State Legislature. This convention was added with the passing of the 1857 Iowa Constitution. Numbering of districts pre-1857 is done as a matter of historic convenience.[7]
In 1970, the Iowa Legislature passed an amendment to the Iowa Constitution setting forth the rules for legislative redistricting in order to abide by the rules established by the
Reynolds v. Sims Supreme Court Case. The first reapportionment map created by the Republican controlled legislature was deemed Unconstitutional, but was still used for the 1970 Election.[8]
