Join the discussion about redistricting at public hearings
Linda Hanson
Want your vote to count for the next 10 years?
Now is the time to make your voice heard! We need Fair Maps when Indiana lawmakers redistrict after the census data is returned this summer.
Register in advance at allinfordemocracy.org for a public hearing to be held by the Indiana Citizens Redistricting Commission on March 16, 7-9 p.m. (Congressional District 6).
Indiana Leagues of Women Voters have been laying groundwork for Fair Maps over the last decade, since the current maps were approved by the legislature in 2011, producing our current supermajority legislature.

Today the All IN for Democracy coalition announced it has selected a diverse and multi-partisan group of Hoosiers to serve on the Indiana Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC), a shadow commission that will demonstrate how redistricting should be conducted in Indiana. The ICRC will host a series of virtual meetings in February and early March and invite people around the state to join a discussion about what non-partisan criteria should drive the redistricting process in Indiana and to identify important community of interests in their region. Testimony from these meetings will be compiled and delivered to the Indiana General Assembly before they begin their map-drawing with a request that legislators follow the public’s instructions to draw fair maps, not ones that benefit one political party over the other.
