Avery v. Midland County
390 U.S. 474
The Equal Protection Clause requires that each citizen have an equally effective voice in the election of officials who exercise general governmental powers over them. The character of the body is determined by the functions it performs, not its label. A county commissioners court that sets tax rates, adopts budgets, and makes policy decisions affecting all residents must be apportioned on a population basis. The fact that the body also performs administrative functions does not exempt it from the one-person-one-vote requirement.
