North Carolina in the 1900s

North Carolina State Senate

1973-1974

Beginning at this General Assembly, the legislature met in both years from henceforth. The First Session met from January 10th to May 24th in 1973. The Second Session met from January 16th to April 13th in 1974.

The 1971 NC Legislature reapportioned the Senate based upon the 1970 U.S. Census, and it was implemented in this General Assembly. The number of Senate districts was reduced from thirty-three (33) to twenty-seven (27). All districts changed in county makeup. The number of Senators remained constant at fifty (50).
