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.
