Question No. 2. "Are you in favor of amending the second part of the Constitution by amending article 11 to read as follows:

The excess number of inhabitants of a district may be added to the excess number of inhabitat s of other districts to form at-large or floterial districts conforming to acceptable deviations. The legislature shall form the representative districts at the regular session following ever decennial federal census."
