OH/VA Redistricting Roundup


Ohio - The Ohio Redistricting Commission announced, on Aug. 13th, that it had scheduled 10 Public Hearings across the State.

The Hearings will take place at 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Daily between Aug. 23rd and Aug. 27th, at Eight Colleges and Universities.

Congressional Maps are created by the Legislature. State Legislative Maps are created by a Politician Commission.

Virginia - The Virginia Redistricting Commission, Voted on Aug. 16th to Officially begin the State’s Redistricting Process on Aug. 26th. The Commission is expected to receive Data that an Outside Consultant is Reformatting by that Date. The Census Bureau released Block-Level Data from the 2020 Census on Aug. 12th.

Virginia Law, requires that the Commission Submit Proposed State Legislative Maps, to the General Assembly within 45 days of Receiving Census Data, and Proposed Congressional District Boundaries within 60 days.

This means the Commission will propose New State Legislative Districts by Oct. 10th and Congressional Districts by Oct. 25th.

When Adopted, the New Congressional Map will take effect for the 2022 U.S. House Elections, and New State Legislative Districts will be used in 2023.

This year’s State Legislative Elections will continue to use Maps that were enacted after the 2010 Census.
