This article will list the numerous district plans enacted by the Alabama Legislature in use for elections to its House and Senate.
While the Constitution of Alabama mandates that the state redraw state legislative district boundaries after every U.S. Census, the state has struggled to satisfy federal courts. The legislature did not attempt to redraw district boundaries for decades, with the state being forced to adopt new maps in 1962, 1965, 1973, 1982, and 1983. The maps adopted for the 1983 special elections marked the first time in the twentieth century that the state had apportioned itself to the U.S. Justice Department's liking.
