Floterial district
A floterial district is a legislative district that includes several separate districts that independently would not be entitled to additional representation, but whose combined population entitles the area to another seat in the legislative body. It is a technique that a state may be authorized to use to achieve more equal apportionment by population during redistricting.〔''Boyer v. Gardner,'' 540 F. Supp. 624, 629-30 (D.N.H. 1982)〕
In common usage, a floterial district is not just a multi-town district, but a multi-town district that "floats" over towns that already elect one or more legislators. For example, a city due more than five representatives but not quite six might elect five representing the city itself, and one more in a floterial district that includes some neighboring towns whose small populations, alone, would not merit even a single representative.
==Examples==
Idaho, New Hampshire, Tennessee and Texas have maintained floterial districts for state offices.
, based on the Reapportionment Act of 1929, reapportions the U.S. House to the states following each decennial census. If a state received additional representatives but failed to redistrict, the additional representatives would be elected at-large, so the entire state would be a floterial district. This has occurred in many states. However, subsequent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, such as ''Reynolds v. Sims'' (the "one man, one vote" decision), now oblige the states to redistrict.
