THE COURT. In these congressional reapportionment proceedings the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Senate and the Assembly of the State of California have submitted to the court
chapter 2 of the Statutes of 1967, Second Extraordinary Session providing for the redistricting of the state’s congressional districts. They request that the court declare
chapter 2 constitutional and instruct the Secretary of State to inform all election officials to follow
chapter 2 in preparing for and carrying out the 1968 primary and general elections. We have reviewed
chapter 2 in the light of the decisions of the United States Supreme Court governing us herein (Silver v. Reagan (1967) ante, p, 452 [62 Cal.Rptr. 424, 432 P.2d 26]), and we have considered the objections submitted by several citizens. We conclude that
chapter 2 is constitutional and that the relief requested should be granted. The Secretary of State is instructed to inform all election officials to follow
chapter 2 in preparing for and carrying out the 1968 primary and general elections. The alternative writs of mandate heretofore issued are discharged and the proceedings are dismissed. • .....
