Topeka ? Candidates for the Kansas House of Representatives now know exactly where they’ll have to look for votes.

Friday, the state Supreme Court approved a plan for redrawing the chamber’s 125 districts. In its unanimous ruling, the court declared that the map satisfied all requirements imposed by the state and U.S. constitutions, including a mandate to provide equal representation to citizens across Kansas.

The new districts’ lines will apply to this year’s elections, when all 125 House seats will be filled.

The plan places four incumbent Democrats in two new districts and puts an incumbent Republican against a Democratic incumbent in two other new districts.

The map puts Democratic Reps. Doug Spangler and Broderick Henderson in a redrawn 35th District in Kansas City. However, Spangler already has announced he won’t seek re-election.

It places Reps. Bruce Larkin, D-Baileyville, and Dennis Pyle, R-Hiawatha, in a new 63rd District in northeastern Kansas.

The new 116th District will be home to Reps. Dennis McKinney, D-Greensburg, and Alan Goering, D-Medicine Lodge.

In northwest Kansas, Reps. Dan Johnson, R-Hays, and Laura McClure, D-Osborne, will both be in the 110th District.

Though not all House members were pleased with the map, it did not inspire as contentious a debate as Senate and congressional redistricting plans did.

The Supreme Court has scheduled a May 7 hearing on a bill redrawing the 40 Senate districts.

The Senate map is a slightly revised version of one that Gov. Bill Graves had vetoed in March.

Both versions were drafted by 11 conservative Republicans and the Senate’s 10 Democrats and contained redrawn districts Graves found objectionable, particularly in Johnson County.

Graves had threatened to veto the second version but backed off after senators approved it 29-11, a sufficient margin to override a veto.

Lawmakers are redrawing Kansas’ legislative, Board of Education and U.S. House districts to account for shifts in population in the 1990s.

The Supreme Court and attorney general automatically review new legislative and State Board of Education maps.

The May 7 hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at the Kansas Judicial Center. Anyone wishing to speak at the hearing must submit a written statement by noon May 6.
