Some of Michigan's Legislative Maps are Getting Redrawn!

Every 10 years Michigan draws new legislative district maps. These maps help determine who gets to represent us statewide and nationally. In the past, elected officials drew the maps to keep themselves in power. In 2021, for the first time, these maps were drawn by the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC) with input from the public.


In December 2023, a U.S. District Court ruled that 13 of the state legislative districts (in metro Detroit) drawn by the ICRC violate the 14th Amendment and ordered the ICRC to redraw the maps and provide drafts by February 2 for public comment and to adopt redrawn maps by late February.


Join the effort for fair, nonpartisan maps today, and engage with this next phase of the redistricting process.

Why Maps Matter

Legislative district maps play a large role in determining who represents us in Lansing and Washington, D.C. For too long, elected officials themselves were in charge of drawing our maps and they drew them to protect their own self-interests at the expense of our diverse communities. The new redistricting process will be citizen-led, transparent and ensure our communities’ voices are heard.
