elected from six districts in nonpartisan plurality elections. Only
voters residing in a district may vote for the members from that
district."
SECTION 2. Section 4 of Chapter 193 of the 1987 Session Laws reads as rewritten:

quadrennially thereafter as terms expire, at the time set by general State

2016 and subsequent years shall take office at the time set by
