Redistricting meetings

An Illinois House committee will hold a public legislative redistricting hearing Monday at the state capitol in Springfield to discuss drawing legislative boundaries. The hearing is one of at least 15 the House Redistricting Committee will host across the state. The Senate Redistricting Committee will also hold a hearing Tuesday in Yorkville. Various groups have been invited to the hearings. The legislative map is redrawn every ten years based on new U.S. Census data. With Democrats in control in Springfield, it’s likely newly drawn districts will be Democrat friendly.
