Illinois Democrats on Friday evening gave the public its first look at their proposed maps containing new boundary lines for Illinoisâ 118 state House and 59 state Senate districts that would be in place for the next decade starting with primary elections in March.
Facing a June 30 deadline to produce and enact the maps, or give Republicans a 50-50 chance at drawing the new boundary lines, Democrats will seek to act quickly in hearings scheduled for next week to advance their redistricting plans by the scheduled end-of-May adjournment date.
Since Republicans count as a superminority in the legislature and Democrat J.B. Pritzker is in the governorâs office, the GOP is largely shut out of the mapmaking process as occurred a decade ago. Those Democratic maps produced Democratic majorities of 73-45 in the House, 41-18 in the Senate.
