Selection process underway for independent commissions to redraw legislative, congressional borders Colorado expected to pick up extra congressional seat Colorado could gain another congressional seat when Census results are released. and last updated 2021-01-13 23:48:31-05 DENVER â Colorado could gain another congressional seat when Census results are released, which means congressional and state legislative boundaries would be redrawn. The redistricting process will be much different than the last time around. Ten years ago, legislative leadership, then-Gov. John Hickenlooper and Chief Justice Monica Marquez appointed a commission to do legislative redistricting. Jessika Shipley was on the redistricting staff. "I can tell you the perception was deals were being made in back rooms," Shipley said, "and that was very confusing and shocking to people. They didn't want to think about it that way."
