The ASU Morrison Institute is hosting a free workshop for those interested in learning about or getting involved in Arizona's redistricting process.
Instructional event includes:
- A general overview of the redistricting process in the United States - why it is done, who draws the lines, what are the potential consequences?
- More technical information about the federal and state requirements, and the relationship between census geography and election geography.
- A panel discussion of the process in Arizona and how citizens can offer meaningful input.
- A wrap-up with takeaways on how citizens, community groups and advocates can get involved
Speakers and panelists include:
- Dr. Michael P. McDonald, Associate Professor of Government and Politics in the Department of Public and International Affairs at George Mason University and a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. He has worked as a redistricting consultant or expert witness in Arizona, Alaska, California, Michigan and New York.
- Justin Levitt, Associate Professor of Law at Loyola Law School and a national expert in election law, with particular focus on election administration and redistricting. He has testified before committees of the U.S. Senate and several state legislative bodies, and his research has been cited extensively in the media and the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
