- On August 25th, the All IN for Democracy coalition launched their redistricting mapping competition. The competition will be judged by the coalition’s model redistricting commission, the Indiana Citizens Redistricting Commission. The ICRC is looking for maps that will protect communities of interest and that do not favor one political party over the other. The deadline for entries is Sept. 13th. Winners will receive cash prizes and their maps will be used as the standard to judge the maps proposed by the legislature, which is expected to return to Indianapolis to pass new maps in mid-September. لمعرفة المزيد هنا.
