"We present this month’s edition of Civic Conversations – a podcast brought to you by the League of Women Voters of Bloomington and Monroe County in collaboration with the WFHB Local News."

"Today’s episode focuses on a review of the 2020 election. You will hear host Jim Allison’s interview with Julia Vaughn, Policy Director for Common Cause Indiana. Groups like the League of Women Voters and Common Cause are calling for reform on what they call partisan redistricting. These groups are fighting for an independent commission to redraw legislative maps." "The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots, citizen-led organization that has fought since 1920 to improve our government and engage all citizens in the decisions that impact their lives." "Stay tuned next month for an episode on the Supreme Court – Jim Allison will interview Shelia Kennedy, professor of law for the School of Public Environmental Affairs at IUPUI."

WLFI (Lafayette) posts information about redistricting and the tasks ahead for the legislature.

Want Fair Redistricting? Now is the Time to Make Your Voice Heard

The Indiana Citizens Redistricting Commission was formed to demonstrate that redistricting done by a diverse and multi-partisan team of Hoosiers in a transparent process that encourages public participation will yield Congressional and state legislative districts that are better for voters.

The first step was hearing what Hoosier voters want in their new districts.

All of the public hearing have been completed.
