PER CURIAM.

No. 9130, Moss v. Burkhart, reported 207 F. Supp. 885, and 220 F. Supp. 149, comes on for further consideration pursuant to summary order of the United States Supreme Court affirming this Court's order of reapportionment on its merits and remanding for further proceedings in conformity with the opinion in Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 84 S. Ct. 1362, and related cases. We will briefly review the course of this protracted litigation to again put it in proper perspective.

After Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 82 S. Ct. 691, 7 L. Ed. 2d 663, and pursuant to hearings in June, 1962, we refused to interfere with the up-coming 1962 Oklahoma primary, but declared the Oklahoma apportionment laws prospectively null and void, and inoperative for all future elections and continued the case until July 31, 1962, to afford the State an opportunity to provide a remedy for the adjudicated malapportionment. When the matter came on for hearing pursuant to assignment on July 31st, we again refused to interfere with the election then in being, but we laid down positive and precise guidelines for bringing Oklahoma apportionment laws into conformity with the requirements of the Oklahoma and the Federal Constitutions. These guidelines were in accordance with the opinion of the then Attorney General of the State of Oklahoma, submitted to the Court in June, 1962. This plan has been referred to throughout this proceedings as "Model C." We recessed the proceedings until March 8, 1963, to afford the incoming Legislature an opportunity to enact a system of election laws apportioning the State of Oklahoma in accordance with *326 the opinion of the Attorney General of the State, which we recommended as in conformity with the requirements of the Federal Constitution. We then said that if the Legislature failed to act within the time allotted to it, the Court would then be compelled, as a last resort, to reapportion by judicial order.

An Initiative Petition was submitted in the November, 1962, election, providing for the transfer of the apportionment duties of the Legislature to a constitutional reapportionment commission. The Petition received a majority of the votes cast on the measure, but failed of adoption for lack of sufficient affirmative votes. See: Allen v. Burkhart, Okl., 377 P.2d 821. When this case came on for further hearing March 8, 1963, pursuant to assignment, the then Attorney General of the State of Oklahoma and the intervening Senators offered Senate Joint Resolution No. 8, 14 O.S.Supp. §§ 78.1-78.11, and House Bill No. 586, 14 O.S.Supp. §§ 102-106 as an appropriate remedy for the adjudicated malapportionment. Upon a hearing on the appropriateness of the proffered remedy, we rejected the House Bill as providing "little or no relief for malapportionment under antecedent laws." We rejected Senate Joint Resolution No. 8 as a "patchwork of political maneuvering and manipulation to perpetuate the same invidious apportionment which prevailed under the antecedent laws." The 1963 session of the Oklahoma Legislature also referred to the people a proposed amendment to the Constitution providing for reapportionment of both houses of the Legislature in accordance with a new formula with built-in constitutional means for effecting reapportionment. This proposal was referred to as Senate Joint Resolution No. 4, Laws 1963, p. 736 and was ultimately submitted as State Question 416. We considered this proposed amendment only to determine its acceptability as an appropriate remedy, if adopted. We noted the gross disparity provided therein and expressed misgivings, but were careful not to interfere with the right of the people to speak on the proposal. Being convinced by all that had transpired that the Oklahoma Legislature was unable or unwilling to reapportion itself, and realizing the importance of settling apportionment laws applicable to the forthcoming 1964 elections, we then promulgated our order of July 17, 1963, reapportioning the Oklahoma Legislature in accordance with so-called "Model C." The Attorney General and the intervenors appealed from this order.

During pendency of the appeal, an original action was brought in the Supreme Court of Oklahoma to review House Bill No. 586 and Senate Joint Resolution No. 8, to determine if they were in accord with the Oklahoma Constitution. In the same action, the Attorney General applied to the Oklahoma Court for a "Provisional or Conditional Order" directing "how the 1964 elections for legislative offices should be conducted if the Order of Reapportionment entered on July 17, 1963, * * * should be stayed, reversed, vacated, or held ineffective for any reason." Davis v. McCarty, Okl., 388 P.2d 480, 482. The Oklahoma Court proceeded to determine whether the most recent apportionment legislation in Oklahoma, i. e., H.B. 586 and SJR 8, "meet the test of substantial equality prescribed by our State Constitution," and apparently assumed that compliance with the Oklahoma Constitution would constitute compliance with the mandate of the Federal Constitution. Upon consideration of this legislation, the Oklahoma Court concluded that the legislation could be made acceptable as an appropriate remedy "without disturbing in any way H.B. 586, except to remove flotorial representation unauthorized by the [State] constitution; and without disturbing in any way SJR No. 8, except to add senatorial representation to meet the test of substantial equality prescribed by our [State] Constitution." Davis v. McCarty, supra, p. 482.

After the Oklahoma Supreme Court's stand-by order of reapportionment, our reapportionment order was stayed pending appeal. Primaries have been conducted *327 under the stand-by order in accordance with the apportionment formulae provided therein, based upon H.B. 586 and SJR 8 as revised by the Oklahoma Supreme Court to bring it in conformity with the Oklahoma Constitution. In the 1964 run-off primaries, State Question 416 was duly adopted. The gist of the amendment is to amend Article 5 of the Oklahoma Constitution relating to apportionment of the State Legislature and repealing all conflicting sections of the Constitution. After adoption of this amendment, qualified electors brought an action, No. 64-255 Civil, Reynolds et al. v. State Election Board, to declare null and void the apportionment formulae provided in Sections 9A and 10A of Article 5, as amended, as repugnant to the Fourteenth Amendment. The suitors also attack the stand-by plan promulgated by the Oklahoma Court under which the primaries have been conducted, contending that it is invidiously discriminatory and, in any event, contingent upon the reversal or ineffectiveness of our July 17, 1963, order. The Court is petitioned to declare State Question 416 and the stand-by order void and inoperative, and to enter an order vacating the May primary elections; declare all legislative offices vacant and direct the Governor of the State of Oklahoma to proclaim special elections as provided by 26 O.S. §§ 541-545, inclusive, to fill such vacancies in accordance with "Model C" as incorporated in the reapportionment order of this Court and which is now the constitutional law of this case. A three-judge court was duly constituted and upon motion and by consent of all parties, the case has been consolidated with Moss v. Burkhart. The consolidated cases are now before this Court to consider (1) whether State Question 416 contravenes the requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment with respect to equality of representation in the State Legislature, as enunciated by authoritative decisions; and, (2) if the amendment is held not to conform to the requirements of the Federal Constitution, the formulation of an appropriate remedy for the invidious discrimination which we have heretofore found in all prior apportionment laws of the State of Oklahoma.

Since the Reynolds case was commenced, certified nominees of both political parties from Oklahoma and Tulsa Counties have intervened to challenge the constitutionality of the apportionment laws under which they were nominated and to petition the Court to vacate the May primary elections, declare vacant the offices to which they and others have been nominated, and direct the Governor to proclaim and order special elections, as provided by 26 O.S. § 541 et seq., to fill the vacancies thus created. The Attorney General, representing the Oklahoma State Election Board, and the intervening Senators in Moss v. Burkhart, have responded contending that State Question 416 is now the law of Oklahoma insofar as it is not inconsistent with the requirements of the Federal Constitution, and to the extent that it does infringe upon the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, it must yield to the Supremacy Clause of the Federal Constitution. They freely concede by their response and at the bar of this Court that State Question 416 is in certain enumerated respects repugnant to the Federal Constitution and must, therefore, fail. They have filed a plan or scheme designated herein as Exhibits I and II, in which they clearly indicated that part of the amendment which must be expurgated. As thus modified to conform to the supreme law of the land, they offer State Question 416 as the basic law of Oklahoma for reapportionment of the State Legislature, and as repealing all prior laws in conflict therewith.

On the question of immediate remedy, we are urged to uphold the May primary under the stand-by order of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, not because the elections are in conformity with the requirements of State Question 416 as modified to conform to Federal law, but rather as an improvement upon all pre-existing laws. They say in that connection that the apportionment under the stand-by order is not sufficiently disparate *328 in the proportionate representation it will bring about to justify the voiding of an election, which they say is now in process or in being. They would have this Court formulate precise guidelines in accordance with State Question 416 as modified, for the Legislature which will convene in January, 1965, under the stand-by order, or in the alternative to promulgate a provisional order of apportionment in accordance therewith. In that respect, our attention is directed to the provisions of State Question 416 for an apportionment commission, with authority to reapportion the State in accordance with established law, if the Legislature refuses to do so within sixty days after convening. This procedure, they argue, will be the least disruptive of the State processes and, at the same time, will insure a constitutionally reapportioned Legislature for the session convening in 1967. They question first whether a special session of the Legislature is empowered to vacate the elections now in being, as indeed, they question the power of this Court to do so. They further question whether the voiding of the elections would result in a vacancy within the meaning of 26 O.S. § 541. And finally, they suggest that the expense of an extraordinary session of the Legislature or of special elections outweighs the benefit to be derived by these plaintiffs thereby.

It is true, as the plaintiffs suggest, our July 17, 1963, order of reapportionment has been affirmed. It does surely provide for reapportionment of the Oklahoma legislature in accordance with the principle of equality of representation enunciated in Reynolds v. Sims, supra, and related cases. It is based upon the then subsisting provisions of the Oklahoma Constitution, with modifications to bring it into conformity with the supreme law of the land. But since our previous order, the Oklahoma Constitution has been changed and the provisions upon which our previous order rested have been repealed by State Question 416. State Question 416 is now the basic law of Oklahoma for apportionment of the State Legislature, repealing all conflicting sections of the Oklahoma Constitution.

While Moss v. Burkhart, supra, was affirmed on its merits, it was remanded to allow us to effect reapportionment of the State of Oklahoma in accordance with the principles announced in Reynolds v. Sims, supra, and to that end, leave in this Court the power to fashion a remedy in the light of well-known principles of equity. See: Reynolds v. Sims, supra [84 S.Ct. p. 1393]. We believe that by affirmance of our previous order of reapportionment in accordance with Reynolds v. Sims, the Supreme Court committed to us the equitable discretion to fashion a remedy for the reapportionment of the Oklahoma State Legislature to suit the exigencies of the case now before us. In the exercise of our equitable discretion, we have accordingly examined the constitutional amendment (State Question 416) to determine whether it can be utilized for the effectuation of constitutional reapportionment in Oklahoma. We agree with the present Attorney General of Oklahoma that it should now be considered as the basic law of Oklahoma on apportionment of the Legislature. We accept the Attorney General's candid statement in his response and at the bar of this Court concerning the provisions of this amendment which he deems to be in conflict with the Federal Constitution, and which he admits must, therefore, yield to its requirements. We also accept the Attorney General's view that the "Amendment was proposed by the Legislature and adopted by the people, both charged with knowledge of the supremacy of the Federal laws, and, in truth, aware that standards and guidelines were in the process of formulation in the Federal courts, and aware that the apportionment formulae in said amendment would, of course, be subordinate to the standards being so formulated." The amendment having been adopted as an appropriate remedy for existing malapportionment, the people intended for it to prevail as basic law to the extent that *329 it is in conformity with the supreme law of the land and that it would fail only insofar as it must yield to the Supremacy Clause of the Federal Constitution. To paraphrase the words of the Attorney General, we will not strike down the amendment in toto, because one Article contravenes Federal guaranties, nor an Article because a Section is void, nor a Section because a clause is bad. And see: Guinn v. United States, 238 U.S. 347, 366, 35 S. Ct. 926, 59 L. Ed. 1340.

In our July 17, 1963, order we accepted the then Attorney General's opinion of the constitutionality of the then existing apportionment laws and order the State reapportioned in accordance with the opinion of the Attorney General. We now accept the present Attorney General's views of the present law of the State, except as we shall hereinafter depart therefrom.

Specifically, we agree with the Attorney General and the intervening Senators that Section 9A, Article 5 of the amendment (State Question 416) is the basic law of Oklahoma for the apportionment of the State Senate. We accept the provisions of Section 9A which provides (1) for forty-eight one-senator senatorial districts in Oklahoma; (2) that the term of office of a senator shall be four years; (3) that one-half of the senators shall be elected each two years; and (4) that the apportionment of the senatorial districts shall be substantially in accordance with the Attorney General's Exhibit I and as more specifically delineated in the revised order of reapportionment hereinafter set forth, and provided further that the multi-district counties shall be subdivided into senatorial districts of approximately equal population, as specifically delineated in the revised order herein.

We agree with the Attorney General and the intervening Senators that Section 10A, Article 5 of the amendment should be retained as the basic law of Oklahoma to provide a formula and procedure for the apportionment of the House of Representatives of the State of Oklahoma. The House of Representatives shall, therefore, be apportioned in accordance with Section 10A, Article 5 as amended, to provide (1) for approximately 100 representatives (the ratio being 1/100th of the population of the State); and, (2) that the term of office of a representative shall be two years. The House of Representatives will be apportioned into districts of approximately equal population, as prescribed and delineated in the revised order of reapportionment hereinafter set forth. All of the remaining parts and provisions of Sections 9A and 10A are unconstitutional and they are, hereby, declared null and void. The apportionment commission provided by Sections 11A and 11B, Article 5 of the amendment, and the means for the enforcement of its apportionment orders provided in Sections 11C, 11D and 11E in no way conflicts with the Federal Constitution, and remains as a part of the basic law of apportionment in Oklahoma.

Having arrived at what seems to be a satisfactory and acceptable plan for reapportionment of the State of Oklahoma in accordance with the amendment to Article 5 of the Oklahoma Constitution and in compliance with the requirements of the Federal Constitution, the question remains when and how shall it become operative as the controlling law of the State.

The Attorney General and the intervening Senators plead for forbearance and further delay. The plea is plausible on its face, but becomes unacceptable when considered in the light of the history of this case. This litigation had its genesis in Radford v. Gary, D.C., 145 F. Supp. 541, nine years ago. At that time the Attorney General of the State of Oklahoma freely conceded in open court that the Oklahoma Legislature was malapportioned under both the Oklahoma and Federal Constitutions. The answer then was simply that there was no redress in the courts. Since Baker v. Carr, supra, more than two years ago and upon full hearing, we declared the then existing apportionment laws of the State of Oklahoma prospectively null and void, *330 but permitted the 1962 Legislature to be constituted under such laws, and left the matter of correcting the deficiencies to that Legislature on the solemn promise that once their duty was made clear, they would discharge it with honor and fidelity. The result was new laws, equally discriminatory, and an amendment to the State Constitution, which all parties now frankly concede must be materially revised in order to meet the constitutional test of representation based upon population.

While we must, in the exercise of our equitable discretion, fashion a remedy which will bring about effective reapportionment with the least disruption of State processes, we are reminded in Reynolds v. Sims, supra, that "once a State's legislative apportionment scheme has been found to be unconstitutional, it would be the unusual case in which a court would be justified in not taking appropriate action to insure that no further elections are conducted under the invalid plan." It is suggested that an "unusual case" is where an impending election is imminent and the State's election machinery is already in progress.

If the election in Oklahoma were imminent, i. e., so close that a vacation of the primary would be unduly and inequitably disruptive of the orderly electorial process, we would surely yield to the exigencies of the situation. In 1962, we refused to vacate the primary although ample time remained, and we refrained from interfering in any way in order to permit the Legislature to provide its own remedy. As in 1962, primary elections have been conducted and nominees have been certified. But, the primary elections were conducted under the stand-by order of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, which was expressly conditioned and contingent upon the ineffectiveness of our July 17, 1963, order of reapportionment. The judgment of this Court was challenged and litigated, and the primary elections conducted on the assumption that our judgment would be overturned. That judgment has now become the settled law in Oklahoma, and our present situation is thus demonstrably different from the circumstances existing in 1962. If confusion and hardship results from the vacation of the primary elections, it is not of our making. Our duty is to reapportion the Oklahoma Legislature in accordance with the established law of the land.

Certain nominees under the May primary have come forward as intervenors to sacrifice the advantages they have gained by successful campaigns and urge us not to leave reapportionment to a Legislature of which, if successful in November, they would be a member. We should, of course, do nothing to put an end to the existence of any co-ordinate branch of State government, or even permit it to destroy itself, but we are reasonably sure that the voiding of these elections and the declaration of vacancies in the respective offices would do no harm to the legislative process in the State of Oklahoma. Since 1913, the State has provided for the filling of vacancies which occur by death, resignation, removal or otherwise. In the event of such vacancies, the Governor shall issue his proclamation, designating a day when an election may be held throughout the county or district for the filling of such vacancy. See: 26 O.S. §§ 541-545, inclusive. There is ample time and sufficient funds for the special elections. In these circumstances, we decline to withhold the immediately available remedy to which the plaintiffs are clearly entitled. We accordingly vacate the primary elections conducted under the Oklahoma Court's stand-by order and we find and hold that a vacancy exists in all of those offices, within the meaning and as contemplated by 26 O.S. § 541 et seq.

Section 9A, as amended by State Question 416 provides: "[A]ny Senator, serving at the time of the adoption of this amendment, shall serve the full time for which he was elected." But, no office-holder has a vested right in an unconstitutional office any more than he has a right to be elected to that office. We believe that it would be *331 invidiously discriminatory to allow this provision of the new constitutional amendment to stand, and it is, therefore, stricken. The July 17, 1963, order of reapportionment provides that the terms of office of senators elected in November, 1960, general election, as well as those elected at the November, 1962, election, will end with the fifteenth day after the general election of November, 1964. We adhere to that part of our former order and declare all legislative offices of the Oklahoma Legislature vacant as of the fifteenth day after the general election in November, 1964, and subject to special elections under 26 O.S. §§ 541-545, inclusive. It thus becomes the statutory duty of the Governor to call special elections as provided by 26 O.S. §§ 541-545, inclusive. The special elections will be conducted for the purpose of nominating candidates for the offices of the Senate and House of Representatives from the districts designated and delineated in the revised order of reapportionment hereinafter set forth. It is the obligation of the State Election Board and those acting under its authority and direction, to conduct elections as herein provided, out of any available funds appropriated to it. And, it is the obligation of the members of the Emergency Fund Board to make any necessary funds available to the Governor and to the State Election Board, for the purpose of conducting the special elections herein ordered. It will, of course, be unnecessary to proclaim or conduct special elections for nominations to the legislative offices in those reapportioned districts which coincide with the nominations in the May primary. Those nominees will be recognized as duly certified for the purpose of the general election in November in such reapportioned districts. The instances in which special elections are unnecessary will be hereinafter enumerated in the revised order of reapportionment.

We do not interfere with that part of the Attorney General's plan which provides for at-large elections in districts embracing more than one county. Nor do we interfere with that part of the Attorney General's plan which provides for at-large elections in multi-member counties embracing less than four districts. In accepting these parts of the Attorney General's plan, we do not indicate approval of at-large elections and do not mean to hold that such elections comport with constitutional requirements of equal protection of the citizens under other circumstances.

The Election Board of the State of Oklahoma, and all those acting by and under its authority, are hereby ordered and directed to accept filings and conduct elections, only in accordance with the provisions of the revised order of reapportionment, and in conformity with the special election statutes of the State of Oklahoma where not inconsistent herewith. The said Board and those acting by and under its authority are enjoined from accepting filings otherwise than in conformity therewith, from conducting special primaries or special or general elections otherwise than in conformity therewith, from issuing certificates of nomination or election otherwise than in conformity therewith, from declaring the results of any such election held otherwise than in conformity therewith, and from certifying to the Secretaries of the County Election Boards a list of nominees otherwise than in conformity therewith.

The election boards of the various counties are likewise directed and ordered to conform to the provisions of said order in their conduct of any special primary and general elections, as well as in obtaining ballots and certifying results therefor.

All persons and parties are enjoined and restrained from interfering with the conduct of the electoral process in any manner, from interfering with the terms of said order in any manner, and from taking any actions designed to or which will have the effect of interfering with the carrying out of said order, except as may be provided by law for the appeal of this order to the Supreme Court of the United States. And *332 this Court retains jurisdiction for the purpose of making any further orders deemed necessary to insure the special elections provided herein, to the end that nominees for the legislative offices provided herein, in accordance with 26 O.S. §§ 541-545, inclusive, shall be duly certified for the general election in November, 1964.

 
REVISED ORDER OF REAPPORTIONMENT

The Legislature of the State of Oklahoma is hereby apportioned as hereinafter provided from the date of this order until the fifteenth day after the general election in November, 1972, unless and until a Legislature, elected and constituted by virtue of this apportionment or the duly constituted Apportionment Commission shall reapportion the Legislature in accordance with the requirements of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The offices of all senators and representatives are hereby declared to be vacant as of the fifteenth day after the general election in November, 1964. The primary and run-off elections conducted in May, 1964, for nominations for the offices of senators and representatives from districts which do not strictly conform to the districts provided herein are hereby declared to be null and void. Those persons nominated in the 1964 primary elections from districts which strictly conform to the districts herein provided shall be the nominees of the appropriate districts and as to such districts only, the 1964 primary elections are not voided.

 
THE SENATE

The Oklahoma State Senate shall consist of 48 members who shall be apportioned during the period set forth above among the 48 senatorial districts of the State as provided herein.

The term of office of senators elected in the November, 1960, general election, as well as those nominated and elected at the November, 1962, elections, will end with the fifteenth day after the general election in November, 1964, all as provided in Moss v. Burkhart, supra, and affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Senators elected from even-numbered districts in November, 1964, shall hold office until the fifteenth day succeeding the general election in November, 1966, and senators elected from the odd-numbered districts in 1964 shall hold office until the fifteenth day succeeding the general election in November, 1968. The election of senators in 1966 and 1968 shall be for a term of four years, but the election in 1970 shall be only for a two-year term so that all terms shall expire on the fifteenth day succeeding the general election in 1972.

Each office is designated and distinguished numerically as provided herein and all filings of notification and declaration for nomination and election to any of such offices shall designate the number of the office to which the filings are intended to apply.

The Oklahoma Senate is, therefore, reapportioned as follows:

In the event of a discrepancy in the description of a district in Oklahoma, Tulsa, or Comanche Counties, the appropriate County Election Board shall proceed in accordance with the obvious intent hereof, and report the discrepancy and the corrective action taken by it to this Court.

It is so ordered by this Court this 6th day of August, 1964.

 
SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER

The Attorney General of Oklahoma has filed a Motion under Rule 52(b) To Correct And Amend Findings: And To Make Additional Findings: And To Amend Judgment Accordingly. Certain Intervenors filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Supreme Court after the *363 filing of such motion. Jurisdiction remains in this Court to consider such motion of the Attorney General, the Notice of Appeal being premature. We have considered such motion and reconsidered our Order of August 7, 1964, and find that such motion, as supplemented, should be in part overruled and in part sustained.

Under the Oklahoma law, where precinct lines do not conform to legislative district lines, it is the duty of the County Election Board to change such precincts. In our previous order there were only a few instances where such precincts were interferred with in Oklahoma County and in Comanche County. The Oklahoma County Election Board has begun the procedures required to alter the appropriate precincts and such procedures should be carried through in sufficient time for the September 29, 1964, special election. We hereinafter amend the Revised Order of Reapportionment as it applies to Districts within Comanche County to make precinct changes unnecessary. No instances of necessary changes of precinct lines in Tulsa County are pointed out to the Court.

The intent of the Court is to follow precinct lines in all districting except in Oklahoma County. In the event any district lines in either this order or the Revised Order of Reapportionment, except in Oklahoma County, shall not conform to present precinct lines the Districts as described in such orders are by the terms of this order amended to so conform by following such precinct lines in the manner which will effect the smallest population change in the Districts affected. If such conformation shall be necessary in any district the appropriate County Election Board shall report such fact to this Court.

The Attorney General questions that part of our Revised Order of Reapportionment which provides that senators elected in 1970 shall serve only a two year term, asserting that this is contrary to the Oklahoma Constitution. That part of our previous order is stricken and such senators shall be elected for a period of four years. The possible problem envisioned by the Court, which prompted the Order now stricken, can be met if and when the occasion arises.

Certain former nominees for election to the House of Representatives, allowed by this Court to intervene herein on August 17, 1964, have filed their Answer alleging that the mechanics and complexities of state election laws result in a chaotic condition because this Court has held the May, 1964, Primary election void. Such allegation is merely a conclusion. This Court has examined the State election laws. It has had the benefit of the testimony of the Secretary of the State Election Board at the trial and the opinions of the Attorney General of Oklahoma relating to the election procedures under the laws of Oklahoma. In no instance has there been any suggestion of any difficulties which will be encountered in proceeding with the ordered special elections. Oklahoma has the means, time and funds under the law with which to effect a properly and legally apportioned legislature for the 1965 session and need not wait until the 1967 session to effect this relief. There is no basis in law for the allegation that the order of this Court has or will create chaos, confusion, or great difficulties and the special elections heretofore ordered shall proceed.

House of Representative Districts 10, 11, 33, 34, 37, 38, 40, 41, 44 and 45, as described in the Revised Order of Reapportionment, are the same in area as Districts provided in the law of Oklahoma prior to the enactment of State Question 416. This Court did not void the primary and run-off primary elections held in May, 1964, in such districts for the reason that such Districts in no way contributed to the unconstitutionality of the then existing apportionment scheme. The people in the counties comprising these Districts did not have representation substantially disproportionate to their numbers. We overrule the motion of the Attorney General to establish district lines within such counties and again permit the candidates for such Districts *364 to run at-large in such counties. In so doing, we reiterate that we do not indicate approval of at-large elections and do not mean to hold that such elections would necessarily comport with constitutional requirements of equal protection of citizens under other circumstances. We find that to void such elections for the sole purpose of achieving as near the ideal as we are able in effecting reapportionment would not be equitable in view of the proportionate representation of the people in such districts. The division of such counties into separate Districts not overlapping in area may be accomplished in the near future by the ensuing legislature so long as such divisions are substantially equal in population.

In order to conform the Senatorial and Representative Districts strictly to precinct lines in Comanche County, Senatorial Districts and Representative Districts, as described in the Revised Order of Reapportionment, are amended to read as follows:
