Redistricting

Redistricting Reform

Since Governmor Pritzker had supported redistricting reform during his campaign, proponents of redistricting for Illinois, including LWVIL, are currently lobbying to get the state legislature to put a constitutional amendment on the 2020 ballot for Illinois voters to determine if they support redistricting reform.

Tim Howard and Gary Stella are co-chairing efforts for our local League.

Redistricting Report for LWVIL Issues Committee October 17, 2014 Paula Lawson, Issue Specialist

Representatives from the groups that worked on the Yes for Independent Maps Campaign have had two meetings to evaluate the redistricting ballot initiative effort and to talk about next steps. At the meeting on October 10, 2014 six people were designated to work as a committee to develop a structure for running another campaign. Mary Schaafsma, LWVIL Executive Director, was designated to be on that committee.

A Redistricting Education Task Force facilitated by CHANGE Illinois will continue to invite feedback on the Yes for Independent Maps Campaign and educate the public about redistricting.
