Over the last month and a half following the release of the 2020 Census data, the non-partisan Redistricting Commission solicited maps from the public, and ultimately forwarded three maps to the County Board last week. A Committee of the Whole meeting was held on Monday where the County Board heard from the Chair of the Redistricting Commission as well as staff for the commission on the three maps that were forwarded. The Executive Committee then met on Wednesday evening where they narrowed the map choices down to one, which will go to the County Board. The Executive Committee forwarded map C of the three options.
“This is the first time Dane County has done the redistricting process this way, and it’s gone well, especially given the condensed timeline and the constraints of the pandemic,” County Board Chair Analiese Eicher said. “This process is more democratic and gives the public a hands-on opportunity in the process by submitting their own maps.”
