For the first time in Michigan&#8217;s history, citizens are now in charge of redistricting to ensure fair congressional districts, Michigan State Senate districts, and Michigan House districts.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the MICRC would like to have one of its commissioners or staff to present at the beginning of one your meetings for two-three minutes. This presentation would be done virtually. We&#8217;re interested in ensuring you and your residents are aware of the redistricting process. Our representative attending your meeting can address any questions or concerns your communities may have about this work, the schedule the commission is following, and how your communities can help.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in receiving a presentation, please email <a href=\"mailto:Redistricting@Michigan.gov\">Redistricting@Michigan.gov<\/a> and type \u201cRedistricting Michigan\u201d in the subject line.
