Online town halls to explain Senate redistricting maps

The Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC) will host virtual town hall meetings on May 29 and June 6 to provide details about election district maps for the Michigan Senate.

Commissioners will share insight about how and why proposed boundaries for Senate districts 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, and 11 were drawn. The maps were drawn using specific criteria, including population, geography, diversity, partisan fairness, and density.

The public is invited to attend remotely and may register to make written or live comments  using the sign-up form at https://forms.office.com/g/JymDHUgHd9. Comments are limited to 90 seconds. Arabic, Bengali and Spanish translators will be available.

The hearings are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 to 7:30 p.m. each day, May 29 and June 6.

A livestream of each meeting will be available at bit.ly/3ic3XRq

Draft Senate maps proposed by the commission are available at https://www.michigan.gov/micrc/mapping-process-2024/draft-proposed-maps-2024-senate.
