Redistricting Reform

The League has been heavily involved in the efforts to get the Redistricting amendment on the 2016 ballot as well as the 2014 attempt. Both of which were unsuccessful. Stay tuned for next steps.

The League selects issues to study. The topics will be researched and presented to the members. More volunteers are needed to assist with current program studies.

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.
