:graybox: Question No. 2
   Are you in favor of amending the second part of the Constitution by amending
   article 11 to read as follows:
   (Art.) 11. (Small Towns; Representation by Districts.) When the population of any town
   or ward, according to the last federal census, is within a reasonable deviation from
   the ideal population for one or more representative seats, the town or ward shall have
   its own district of one or more representative seats. The apportionment shall not deny
   any other town or ward membership in one non-floterial representative district.
   When any town, ward, or unincorporated place has fewer than the number of inhabitants
   necessary to entitle it to one representative, the legislature shall form those towns,
   wards, or unincorporated places into representative districts which contain a sufficient
   number of inhabitants to entitle each district so formed to one or more representatives
   for the entire district. In forming the districts, the boundaries of towns, wards, and
   unincorporated places shall be preserved and contiguous. The excess number of
   inhabitants of a district may be added to the excess number of inhabitants of other
   districts to form at-large or floterial districts conforming to acceptable deviations.
   The legislature shall form the representative districts at the regular session following
   ever decennial federal census.
