County legislators call for fair redistricting process

TROY, N.Y. — As a result of the 2020 Census, communities across America will have the opportunity and the obligation to redistrict. Redistricting is the process of redrawing the lines that define political districts. This happens after the completion of the federal census every 10 years. This year the Census Bureau’s data shall be delivered to all states at once in and around September 30, instead of on a roll-out basis as had been done in the past. This will allow the Census Bureau to deliver complete and accurate redistricting data in a timelier fashion overall for the states. The redistricting data includes counts of population by race, ethnicity, voting age, housing status, and group quarters population such as nursing homes, military bases, and the like. This is the information that states need to redraw or “redistrict” their legislative boundaries.
