Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in Missouri
Although congressional districts in Missouri are drafted and passed by the Missouri State Legislature, the maps for the Missouri State Senate and the Missouri House of Representatives are drafted using a different process. There are two redistricting commissions, one for each chamber. In the House, both parties nominate commission members who are then selected by the governor, creating an 18-member redistricting commission. If the commission does not reach an agreement by the September deadline, appellate judges are appointed to finish the redistricting process.[5]
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Missouri's population rose from 5.6 million in 2000 to 6.0 million in 2010. The major population centers were St. Louis and Kansas City.[6]
The redistricting commission did not meet the deadline for drafting a map, so the responsibility shifted to a panel of six judges. At least 50 House members were placed in districts with fellow incumbents, and members of both parties said the redistricting process gave the other party a partisan advantage. The judicial commission stated that the House plan included "18 districts where racial minorities constitute a majority of the population."[7]
Term limits
The Missouri House of Representatives has been a term-limited state house since Missouri voters approved Amendment 12 in 1992. Amendment 12 created Section 8 of Article III of the Missouri Constitution, limiting members of the state house to 4 2-year terms. As with five other states, this is a lifetime limit. (Section 8 was later amended by Amendment 3 in 2002 so that it does not apply to partial terms.)
There were 25 state representatives terming out in 2012, or 15.3% of the 163 members of the chamber. Of them, 8 were Democratic and 17 were Republican.
In addition to the 25 Missouri state representatives who left office because of term limits, 9 Missouri state senators were also termed-out.
Missouri state representatives whose seats were up for election in 2012 but who were unable to run because of the state's term limits were:
Democrats (8):
Republicans (17):
