Promote the Vote releases maps built as part of its 2021 Redistricting Project
Promote the Vote (LWVMI is a member of this coalition) has worked hard to build fair, equitable maps that voters from every corner of the state can support. These maps would ensure that Michiganders can elect leaders who truly reflect the diverse communities they represent and who champion the issues and concerns of our residents.

Town Hall on Redistricting - Recording Available
As part of the People Powered Fair Maps Program of the League of Women Voters, local Leagues across Michigan are holding virtual town hall events to educate Michigan residents on the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission’s (MICRC) process in drawing new legislative and congressional maps. The Dearborn-Dearborn Heights LWV, in partnership with AAUW – Dearborn Branch, ACCESS, and Western Wayne County NAACP, held its virtual Town Hall on Thursday, April 22, 2021 at 7:00 pm.
In addition to learning about the MICRC, attendees learned about Communities of Interest (COI), which will be an important criterion when district lines are drawn. MICRC member Anthony Eid joined the Town Hall to provide a brief presentation that included information on submitting testimony to the commission. The recording is available on our YouTube platform.
