Special Alert

Coconino County community invited to comment on draft Arizona legislative and congressional district maps

By the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth

CCC&Y’s Action and Outreach Committee would like to make sure that individuals are aware that redistricting conversation, maps, and comments are taking place now. These decisions determine what district voters will vote in and how representation will take place. The results of redistricting last for 10 years and ultimately impact policy decisions. Please make sure you are informed and that your voice is heard.

The 30-day comment period ends on Nov. 20. The Arizona’s Independent Redistricting Commission will then take the feedback, make final change before they are approved in December, the Arizona Daily Sun reported this week.

The final maps will use to elect candidates for the next 10 years.

The first public hearing will be a virtual town hall at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 6.
