• Redistricting in 2021

  • According to the Constitution, every ten years, after the Census is taken, the states must redraw the boundaries for the State Senate, State Assembly and US House of Representatives. This is called redistricting.  New maps will be drawn in 2021, based on data from the 2020 Census.
