Michigan residents have a first-ever opportunity to be directly involved with the re-drawing of political district lines tonight when the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC) hosts its first of 16 public hearings on the redistricting process.
The redistricting process determines the shape of state and federal political districts in Michigan. Voters approved the MICRC via a statewide referendum in 2018.

The hearing from 6-9 p.m. Tuesday at One American Event Center in Jackson will also be livestreamed. Any Michigander can RSVP to attend the in person or online, and submit public comments virtually, here.
“The most important purpose of the public hearing is to actually hear from Michigan residents about potential redistricting plans that will impact them,” said MICRC spokesperson Edward Woods III.
