redistricting

State prisoners will be counted as residents of the districts where they originally lived.

“We’re hopeful that we can get through this process, but the census information coming at such a late time has really put us behind schedule."

The public will have the opportunity to comment on the draft maps before they are delivered to the legislature.

One big question: How hard should mapmakers try to match up district lines with county and municipal borders?

“There won’t be someone there arguing against or for a redistricting line in the same way that you would have if someone was actually an incumbent and running again."

The Legislature could place Stefanik and Tenney in the same district. Both are outspoken conservative women.

Recent population estimates and data from the latest American Community Survey can be used to help figure out where the new district lines should be.

By law, a five-member legislative committee called the Legislative Reapportionment Commission spearheads the map drawing process.

A panel tasked with drawing new legislative districts for members of Congress and the state Legislature still hasn’t received funding allocated in this year’s state budget.

Citizens think the state’s redistricting process is broken and corrupt, manipulated by politicians for their own gain, and lacks transparency.
