In 2018 Michigan voters approved a Constitutional amendment to change how redistricting is done in the state, removing the process from the purview of the state legislature and placing it in the hands of the new Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC). This new independent process gives regular, everyday Michigan residents the ability to draw the state's legislative districts.

Join us for this virtual town hall event to educate Michigan voters on the MICRC's process in drawing new legislative and congressional maps. The evening's speakers will discuss redistricting in Michigan, the commission and opportunities for the public, including Communities of Interest, to provide input to the commission before it draws the maps.

Statewide, the League of Women Voters has undertaken a widespread educational effort to help voters understand redistricting and to ensure the MICRC is being what voters have asked: for citizens to draw district lines instead of legislators or special interests, and for the commission to respect Communities of Interest.

Registration is required and begins Thursday, April 8, 2021 at 10am, closing one hour before the program starts. The Zoom meeting link and password will be emailed to registered participants prior to the program. See below for technical requirements.
