When the supervisor's residence remains the same but the district's boundaries have changed, he still resides in the district from which he was elected. A situation like this case was discussed in 71 Op. Att'y Gen. 157, 161 (1982), where, as a result of reapportionment, a state senator found himself residing outside the district he had been representing. My predecessor concluded that no vacancy would result by reason of section 17.03 (4) because the senator remained an inhabitant of the "district from which he or she is elected."
The judicial plan was printed in the 1981-82 Wisconsin statutes as chapter 4 beginning at section 4.004 together with chapter 4 as created by chapter 304, Laws of 1971, even though the latter was held unconstitutional in AFL-CIO v. Elections Bd. The legislative elections in the November 1982 general election were held in accordance with the judicially ordered plan. In 71 Op. Att'y Gen. 157 (1982), this office stated that the effective date of the new district lines for purposes of nominations and regular, recall and special elections was the date of the court order, June 17, 1982. This office also concluded that holdover senators in districts whose boundaries were altered were responsible to the inhabitants of the district to which their numbers corresponded under the new districting plan and not to the inhabitants of those portions of their former district which were not included within the altered district.
