This program is part of a national redistricting project of the League of Women Voters US that focuses on creating fair political maps in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Every 10 years, the states will use census data to determine new congressional and legislative district boundaries.

The program will focus on how the 2021 redistricting process will occur, what criteria are involved in creating the boundaries, and ways the public can be involved in the process of drawing district boundaries that fairly represent Idahoans. Presenters include Pam Ward, Linda Engle and Kathy Dawes.
