2021 is the year for redistricting in the United States. The League’s People Powered Fair Maps campaign is working in states to ensure that the new districts are drawn to be as fair and representative of the people as possible. In Connecticut, that means we must draw attention to redistricting so that public awareness encourages a fair process and outcome.

LWV on Redistricting

Congressional districts and government legislative bodies should be apportioned substantially on population. We oppose partisan and racial gerrymandering that strips rights away from voters.

The process called “redistricting” will determine how our local school board, city council, state legislative, and congressional districts are drawn. How can our communities participate? How can we ensure that our interests are being heard and represented by our elected officials? How can we ensure that the voting strength of our communities is not weakened? What are the important factors to consider in redistricting?

The health of our democracy and its people depends on accurate data from the 2020 Census. This data helps determine representation and resource allocation for Connecticut and the entire country for the next 10 years. Yet, the Census Bureau staff have only 11 weeks to complete their work on Census files, due to COVID-19 delays and reporting deadlines. Congress has the power to grant an extension, but it will require a Senate majority. That's why our Senators need to hear from us.
