ADKINS, Justice. This is an appeal from a final judgment in mandamus for electors and against the Board of County Commissioners seeking reapportionment, wherein the trial court declared Fla.Stat. § 124.01(3), F.S.A., to be unconstitutional....
...After each decennial census the board of county commissioners shall divide the county into districts of contiguous territory as nearly equal in population as practicable. One commissioner residing in each district shall be elected by the electors of the county.” Fla.Stat. § 124.01(3), F.S.A., reads as follows: “The board of county commissioners shall from time to time, fix the boundaries of the above districts so as to keep them as nearly equal in- proportion to population as possible; provided, that changes made i...
...ial judge ordered that the peremptory writ be issued and that redistricting be completed before qualification time for the county commissioners forthcoming elections in 1976. The order of the judge contained the following: “4. That Florida Statute 124.01(3) is unconstitutional in that it takes away constitutional rights which are guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the Federal Constitution.” The trial judge apparently held that the electors were being effectively disenfranchised by unequal p...
...Under the above-quoted provisions of the Florida Constitution, it is within the discretion of the Board after a study of the decennial census figures to decide whether the existing districts are as nearly equal as possible. Recognizing the constant shift in the population of Florida, the Legislature by Fla.Stat. § 124.01(3), F.S.A., has given the Board authority to fix the boundaries of the districts from time to time so as to keep them as nearly equal in population as possible....
...The Constitution and the statute vests the Board with a reasonable range of discretion in fixing the boundaries of county commissioners’ districts and does not require absolute equality in population. See Ryan v. State ex rel. Ford,

...McFarland Gulf County Attorney 326 Reid Avenue Port Saint Joe, Florida 32456 Dear Mr. McFarland: On behalf of the Gulf County Board of County Commissioners, you have asked for my opinion on substantially the following questions: 1. Is it mandatory pursuant to Article VIII , section 1 (e), Florida Constitution, and section 124.01 , Florida Statutes, that the Gulf County Board of County Commissioners include and count the prison population within the district in which such prison population is physically located when attempting to balance each of the five county...

...requires that after receiving the results of the federal decennial census, the board of county commissioners must reexamine and redraw county districts based on population figures. The statutory section implementing this constitutional provision is section 124.01 , Florida Statutes: "(1) There shall be five county commissioners' districts in each county, which shall be numbered one to five, inclusive, and shall be as nearly equal in proportion to population as possible ....
...include and count the prison population within the district in which such prison population is physically located when attempting to balance each of the five county districts in compliance with Article VIII , section 1 (e), Florida Constitution, and section 124.01 , Florida Statutes....
...districts be created with a view to equality in population, this does not mean that the board is bound to create districts that are identical in population. 10 In light of the specific language of Article VIII , section 1 , Florida Constitution, and section 124.01 , Florida Statutes, it is my opinion that the Gulf County Board of County Commissioners is not authorized to distribute the population numbers for the prison population among the county's districts, but must utilize the population figures as they exist in place....
