The New Citizen Toolkits for Redistricting - LWVNC Fair Districts Webinar

Engaging Citizens in Map Drawing
Wednesday, January 27, 2021 - 5:00pm to Thursday, January 28, 2021 - 4:45pm

These days, whatever you want to do, there's an app for it! Join us for a hands-on look at one of the new redistricting apps that puts easy redistricting tools into the hands of us voters. We'll look at Princeton's Representable, one of the best of the new breed.  Redistricting is not just for wonks and consultants anymore -- it's "Power to the People."  Representable enables voters to define their "communities of interest" -- geographic areas that share ties and should be kept together when districts are drawn. These easy-to-use tools can do more than that, though, whether that's drawing complete districts, crowdsourcing a whole map, or suggesting improvements to the legislature's handiwork. Welcome to the new age of citizen-drawn maps!REGISTER HERE
