The Cutback Amendment is an amendment to the Illinois Constitution that abolished multi-member districts in the Illinois House of Representatives and the process of cumulative voting. Before the amendment,the Illinois General Assembly was divided into 59 legislative districts,each of which elected one senator and three representatives. In state house elections,voters could vote three times for one candidate or spread their votes between two or three candidates. When the Cutback Amendment was approved in 1980,the total number of House representatives was reduced from 177 to 118 and members were elected from single-member districts formed by dividing the 59 Senate districts in half. The movement to pass the bill was largely led by Democrats Pat Quinn and Harry Yourell.
