The General Assembly, as specified by the Constitution, consists of 38 Senators and 100 Representatives, each representing districts as nearly equal as possible as prescribed by Section 33 of the Kentucky Constitution. Members of the House of Representatives are elected for two-year terms. Members of the Senate serve four-year terms, with one-half of the Senate elected every two years.
