Frequently asked questions in preparation for the 2021 redistricting process in Pennsylvania.
Hearings and Public Testimony
To find out when the two state government committees and the one commission are meeting to discuss redistricting, a PA voter must follow four different websites. In our attempt to keep ourselves and PA voters informed, we will be using this landing page to collect what we know about all the various hearings.
Commissions, Committees and Confusion, oh my!
Reapportionment and redistricting happen every ten years and it can be confusing who does what and how it gets done. As the process starts again in 2021 we share some Q&A’s to help all of us understand the process better. This is by no means comprehensive but it is a start.
Testimony is Advocacy Power!
Get ready to share your thoughts about past gerrymandered districts and about what you’d like to see as new maps are drawn.
