Senate Lays Out Initial Redistricting Proposal

Tallahassee, FL- Monday, the Senate Committee on Reapportionment published the initial proposals for redrawing congressional and state legislative district boundaries.

The two plans, found here and here, are based on testimony heard at the 26 public redistricting hearings held across the state, and reflect the unanimous bipartisan decisions made by committee members who directed staff to draw plans after reviewing publicly submitted maps during the last four interim committee meetings.

 

Beginning today, citizens are able to participate by submitting their input in a number of different ways:

  • ·        By calling 855-FLA-MAPS (toll free) and leaving a message;
  • ·        By emailing comments to  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ;
  • ·        By sending comments via Twitter to @Redistrict2012;
  • ·        By posting video feedback on the Reapportionment Committee’s YouTube page;
  • ·        By visiting the Committee’s Facebook page.

 

These methods for collecting public input were chosen to provide convenient ways for the public to continue to be fully engaged in the redistricting process.  In partnership with the Florida Channel, the feedback received will be broadcast at the next committee meeting on December 6, when the committee formally introduces the legislation.
