The Montana Districting and Apportionment Commission on Tuesday adopted rules to guide how it carves up the stateâs legislative districts once data from the 2020 Census becomes available, including a controversial goal of drawing âcompetitiveâ districts.
The meeting was a continuation of the commissionâs work on July 8 and 9, during which it received public testimony on the proposed criteria and established rules for drawing up Montanaâs new U.S. House district. The criteria it chose Tuesday for the 150 state House and Senate districts differ somewhat from the federal redistricting rules, and the commission will have longer to work out the legislative map.
