AUGUST 9: REDISTRICTING COMMISSION virtual HEARING, 2 p.m. An historic reform is changing the way New York State draws its legislative and congressional district maps—a once-a-decade process that helps decide who will represent you in the halls of state and federal government for the next 10 years.
A new, voter-approved Independent Redistricting Commission will rely on input from citizens—not politicians—to decide how best to divide the state into the required number of Senate, Assembly and Congressional districts, while ensuring that individual neighborhoods and communities are fairly represented.
The goal of this new process is to prevent any one region, special interest or political party from gaining an unfair advantage or too much power at the expense of the others. We need fair redistricting that puts the needs of the people above the politics of gerrymandering. That is why we need citizens like you to get involved and make your voices heard.
Here is how: the IRC is undertaking a series of online public hearings to collect input from citizens and devise the best possible redistricting plan. The commission's website allows you to register to participate in the hearings or to submit written testimony. Visit online for the regional hearing encompassing your specific region of the state.
