Committee History
The Elections, Reapportionment and Constitutional Amendments Committee is the most recent Senate committee to oversee election
law, redistricting and reapportionment, and, beginning in 2005, constitutional amendments.
The first committee that had elections under its purview was Privileges and Elections. It was created as a standing committee
of the Senate by the President in 1849. Its purpose was to "examine the returns of the elections of Senators as communicated
by the Secretary of State." In 1851 the committee was renamed simply Elections and appears to have expanded its work to include
bills relating to elections as well as the examination of election returns. This committee was renamed Elections and Election
Laws in 1903, before reverting back to the Elections Committee in 1913, which it remained until 1967 when it became the Elections
and Reapportionment Committee. The committee shorted its name again to simply the Elections Committee in 1985, before reverting
back to the Elections and Reapportionment Committee in 1989, a name it kept until 2005, when it became the Elections, Reapportionment,
and Constitutional Amendments Committee. Throughout the life of the committee its scope appears to have remained that of bills
relating to elections and reapportionment, with the addition of hearing constitutional amendments in 2005.

Scope and Content
The Senate Elections, Reapportionment and Constitutional Amendments Committee records consist of Bill Files, 1969, 1975-1980,
1982-2006, Hearing Files, 1967-1975, Contested Election Files, 1850-1937, Reapportionment Files, 1967-1975, 1982-2001, Reapportionment

Maps and Data Files, 1965-1967, Demographic and Political Profiles, 1992-1993, Miscellaneous Reports, 1851-1858, 1973-1996,
and News Clippings, 1980-2004. It is anticipated that the Archives will receive further records from the Senate Elections,
Reapportionment and Constitutional Amendments Committee. Researchers should check for recently received, unprocessed records
of this committee.
The bill files document the bills directed to the committee. The files include committee analysis, letters from interested
parties, and the comments of affected agencies. These files show the close involvement of the committee in such issues as
campaign finance reform, the Political Reform Act and amendments to the Act, term limits, same day registration and voting,
voting rights for young people and efforts to engage them in the voting process, online public disclosure, and secure electronic
voting. Other issues taken up by the committee included a revision to the Code of Fair Campaign Practices (AB866, 2005) adding
sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of topics a candidate would not use to appeal to negatives prejudices during
a campaign.
The records also include an early series on contested elections. This series spanning 1850-1937 documents the committee's
involvement in examining the election results of contested elections at the senate district level and includes transcripts,
reports and related material.
The hearing files span a variety of elections related topics including voter registration and voter turnout, the Political
Reform Act of 1974, campaign finance reform, efforts to make elections "English only," electronic voting and voting systems
software, the decennial census and redistricting, as well as bill specific hearings.
There is also a second reapportionment specific hearing series, dealing specifically with the various topics, bills, and initiatives
important to the committee's reapportionment work. Also included are hearings to present the proposed redistricting. This
series, as well as the reapportionment series and reapportionment court cases deal exclusively with the decennial census,
reapportionment, and redistricting process. Here researchers will find documentation of the committee's work drafting new
congressional, senate, and assembly districts. The reapportionment court cases document the legal challenges to those proposals
and the committee's response. The researcher should note that the committee collected redistricting hearing files under both
hearing files and reapportionment hearing files and both series should be consulted.
The subject files document the committee's work in areas such as a revision of the Elections Code and the Voting Rights Act,
campaign finance, voter discrimination, electronic filing, litigation (again mostly in relation to the reapportionment and
redistricting process), and the Census and voting demographics, as well as some reapportionment and redistricting material
not found in the Reapportionment series. The correspondence consists of mostly outgoing correspondence from the Committee
chairperson. Topics include current legislation and redistricting efforts, the organization of public hearings, as well as
day to day administrative details of the committee and committee consultants' work. The maps and data series includes maps
and data relating to reapportionment and redistricting, such as census population and demographic data, party registration
and election results at the state assembly and senate district level and at the federal congressional district level. This
series also includes some correspondence and notes.
The demographic and political profiles are a complete series of profiles for each senate district that were produced by the
committee in 1992 and 1993. The miscellaneous reports include mostly reports produced outside the committee on a number of
topics including campaign finance, political reform, and reapportionment. This series also includes a number of reports analyzing
state propositions in each election cycle. The news clippings are a collection of newspaper and magazine articles collected
by the committee on topics relating to the committee's work.
