STATEHOUSE (Aug. 2, 2021) – State Reps. Bob Behning (R-Indianapolis) and Mike Speedy (R-Indianapolis) invite constituents to weigh in on Indiana's redistricting process during an upcoming public meeting Aug. 11 in Indianapolis.
"There are several opportunities to get involved and provide feedback on the redistricting process," Behning said. "I hope our community will be active participants and stay engaged throughout the entire process, whether they attend a meeting, watch online or submit their own maps for consideration."
Indiana is required to redraw its districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, the Indiana House of Representatives and Indiana Senate following the nationwide census every 10 years. Before legislators are expected to return to the Statehouse in mid-to-late September to redraw the district boundaries, public meetings will be held in each of Indiana's nine congressional districts.
Speedy said Hoosiers can attend any of the nine public meetings in early August, including one from 1-3 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 11 in the House Chamber at the Indiana Statehouse.
"I encourage Indianapolis residents to visit our Statehouse and take part in this important process," Speedy said. "Hearing directly from Hoosiers will be critical as we move forward with redistricting."
Meetings will be livestreamed and archived at iga.in.gov. Visit IndianaHouseRepublicans.com to view the complete list of meeting dates and locations.
Census data is delayed due to the pandemic, but is expected to arrive on Aug. 16. Members of the public can also draw and submit their own maps for consideration by using an online portal with mapping software, which will be launched in late August.
