In the interim period between the 1964Supreme Court decisionReynolds v.

For the Senate, two members were electedat-large in the 1965 election for a two-year term, while three members were elected in 1967 for a four-year term and 1971 for a two-year term.[ 7] [ 8] [ 9]

For the members of the Assembly elected from Passaic County, the election method changed in every general election during this interim period. In 1967, two members were elected at-large from the entire county, while the county was split into three Assembly districts with one member elected from each district.[ 8] Then in the 1969 election, one member was elected at-large and two Assembly districts in the county each elected two members.[ 12] The election of 1971 reverted to the original 1967 method of electing Assembly members.[ 9]
