staggered terms.
In the event of redistricting which changes the number of congressional
districts in the state, the members of the commission as constituted at the
time of redistricting shall continue to be members of the commission until
the first day of July following the expiration of four months after
such redistricting becomes effective. Except for the
chairperson on such date, the terms of all
members of the commission shall expire. During
the
four months immediately preceding such termination of office, new
commissioners shall be elected and appointed from the newly constituted
congressional districts in the same manner which is provided in this act
for election and appointment of commissioners. The terms of
elected and appointed members first chosen from such newly constituted
districts shall be staggered on the basis of the number of such districts
and their successors shall be elected and appointed in such manner and for
such terms as provided in this act.
