Redistricting in Michigan: The MICRC & Communities of Interest

The League of Women Voters of Jackson Area is holding a townhall event to educate voters on the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC) process in drawing new legislative and congressional maps. MICRC was created as a result of Michigan adopting proposal 18-2 in 2018.

 

Discussions will include 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.

 

The virtual townhall will take place via Zoom, and registration is required. To register, click here.

 

Participating in this townhall gives you the chance to have your voice heard at the MICRC public hearing on May 11 at the Commonwealth Center at 6 PM.
