Thus each district contains about 1/17th of the state's population, or about 105,000 persons. </p><p>The state's districting system is unique in the United States in that both senators from a district cannot be from the same county, no matter the population of the various parts of the district. This means, for example, that one of the 5th District's two senators must reside in <a href="/wiki/Cabell_County,_West_Virginia" title="Cabell County, West Virginia">Cabell County</a> and the other must reside in the portion of <a href="/wiki/Wayne_County,_West_Virginia" title="Wayne County, West Virginia">Wayne County</a> that is inside the 5th District, even though Cabell County has more people than the portion of Wayne County that is part of the 5th District. However, both senators are elected by everybody within the district, not just by the people of the county in which the senators reside. </p><p>Responding to the <a href="/wiki/2010_United_States_Census" class="mw-redirect" title="2010 United States Census">2010 Census</a> the Senate redistricted itself. Kanawha County was divided for the first time in the Senate's history, with the northern and western portions joining a part of <a href="/wiki/Putnam_County,_West_Virginia" title="Putnam County, West Virginia">Putnam County</a> as the 8th District and the remainder of the county constituting the 17th district on its own. This reduced the number of Senators from Kanawha County from four to three, as one of the 8th's had to be a resident of Putnam. </p><p>Responding to the <a href="/wiki/2020_United_States_Census" class="mw-redirect" title="2020 United States Census">2020 Census</a> the Senate again redistricted itself. The Senate adopted a new map, again reflecting a shift of the population to the Morgantown area and the Eastern Panhandle. Ten counties, out of the 55, were divided between two different districts, and Kanawha County was divided between three different districts.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Because senators are elected for four-year terms, the redistricting will not come fully into effect until after the 2024 election, as 17 senators were elected under the new map in 2022, while those elected in 2020 under the old map will continue to serve until 2024. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Senate_president">Senate president</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=West_Virginia_Senate&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Senate president"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_West_Virginia_Senate" title="President of the West Virginia Senate">President of the West Virginia Senate</a></div> <p>The Senate elects its own president from its membership. <a href="/wiki/Craig_Blair" title="Craig Blair">Craig Blair</a> is currently the president of the West Virginia Senate. </p><p>While the <a href="/wiki/West_Virginia_Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="West Virginia Constitution">West Virginia Constitution</a> does not create or even mention the title of <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_governor_(United_States)" title="Lieutenant governor (United States)">lieutenant governor</a>, West Virginia Code 6A-1-4 creates this designation for the Senate president, who stands first in the line of succession to the office of governor.
