Pennsylvania lawmakers have begun releasing draft maps for the 2021-22 redistricting cycle.
As the two processes for creating legislative districts and congressional districts continue, read on for more about recent updates and how to provide input on draft maps.
Congressional Redistricting
The House State Government Committee passed House Bill 2146, containing an amended version of a map originally created by Amada Holt, a citizen mapper who was instrumental in the legal challenge to the maps in the 2011-12 redistricting cycle.
The Senate State Government Committee is also working on a proposed congressional map. Ultimately, both the House and Senate must pass legislation containing a single congressional map that must be signed by the Governor.
