A contract may be entered into with the United States census bureau to make any special census if the latest United States decennial census figures are not adequate.  (b) All districts shall be contiguous.  (c) All districts shall be as compact and of as nearly square shape as is practicable, depending on the geography of the county area involved.  (d) No township or part thereof shall be combined with any city or part thereof for a single district, unless such combination is needed to meet the population standard.  (e) Townships, villages and cities shall be divided only if necessary to meet the population standard.  (f) Precincts shall be divided only if necessary to meet the population standard.  (g) Residents of state institutions who cannot by law register in the county as electors shall be excluded from any consideration of representation.
