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. • .....
