Tuesday, September 30th is the constitutional deadline for making a bipartisan map, but Ohioans still haven’t seen maps proposed by the majority party, which has the most power in Ohio’s redistricting process.
Because Ohio's congressional map drawn in 2021 was not passed by a bipartisan vote, the Ohio Constitution requires a new map to be created. The legislature has known redistricting was coming for years.
Nearly 100 Ohioans have submitted maps, and most of them are more compact and fair. But the majority party still hasn't proposed their own - instead, they spent the last hearing tearing down maps that others have proposed.
So we'd like to know: Where's the Map?
Once again, Ohio politicians are playing games with one of the most sacred and fundamental parts of our democracy: one person, one vote. Let's give them a chance to explain why, once again, they are failing to uphold their constitutional duty.
A note about Tuesday's hearing
We encourage Ohioans to submit written testimony about the maps that have been submitted (found here) and come to the Ohio Statehouse on Tuesday the 30th at 9am to deliver testimony.
Testimony can only be about maps already submitted and must be submitted a minimum of 24 hours before the hearing, so by 9am on Monday, September 29; submit your testimony here.
Thank you for taking the time to act! Right now, there are no General Assembly members associated with your address. This could mean you are not an Ohio resident, or that you have newly elected members in both the Ohio House and Ohio Senate, which has not yet updated their new member contacts. If it is the latter, please try again in a few days. Please reach out to Elisabeth Warner with any questions at ewarner@lwvohio.org.
Thank you!
Thank you for speaking up for fair maps!
