Our September public policy meeting will be offered virtually by LWVSC and their presentation "What Would Fair Maps Look Like?" with their release of LWVSC maps and a redistricting update. See description below and register to receive the Zoom link.
Legislators are hard at work on the redistricting process, which must happen every ten years following the census to ensure even population distribution across districts. In South Carolina, legislators get to draw their own districts -- as well as Congressional districts -- a process that many wish was in the hands of an independent, nonpartisan commission. What types of maps will the legislature produce when they reconvene in October?
The League of Women Voters, in consultation with their nonpartisan Redistricting Advisory Committee, will be submitting a set of maps to the legislature for consideration.
Join us on September 29 as we release these maps to the public, discuss our process, and give the latest update on legislative redistricting. You'll leave prepared to evaluate maps that the legislature proposes, and advocate for fair maps!
This event is virtual; rsvp to receive the zoom link via email. More information about the redistricting process can be found at www.lwvsc.org.
