Redistricting FAQ
What is redistricting?
Redistricting is the process by which the legislature or other government body redraws the lines and boundaries of electoral districts.
​
Why is redistricting important?
How and where the district lines are drawn will determine how strong a voice each voter or each group of voters has in elections. It also affects how strong a voice each has when lobbying for or against current or potential laws or budget items.
​
Why is it important to finalize ND's legislative redistricting?
North Dakota voters head to the polls each even numbered year to elect half of the seats in the legislature. The maps need to be final so voters know which district they will be voting in and legislative candidates know when to run for office.​​​​
​
How can I get involved?
It’s important that elected officials listen to the public, and not just to special interests. So being a part of the process to draw fair districts is crucial for your community. When citizens are left out of the process, it is far more likely that politicians will see that lines get drawn so they can choose their voters, rather than voters being able to choose their elected officials.
​
Take Action:
1) Get to know the boundary lines of your legislative district, so you're ready to give public comment during the next redistricting cycle.
2) Review the resources below to get more comfortable with redistricting, especially the free mapping tools.
3) When the districts are redrawn in 2031, you can watch, comment, and push for more transparency, as needed. The Legislative Redistricting Committee may need encouragement by the public to schedule meetings across the state.
