Public comment is sought on the following 51 candidates for Arizona’s Independent Redistricting Commission, which will oversee the mapping of Arizona’s congressional and legislative districts in 2021.
The Arizona Constitution directs the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments to review the applications and to nominate 25 people to serve. From the list of nominees, four elected officials will appoint the first four members of the Redistricting Commission. The fifth member will be chosen by the four members appointed to the commission.
Candidates registered as Independent will be interviewed at a public meeting on October 8 and candidates registered as Republican or Democrat will be interviewed at a public meeting on October 9. The meetings will be held at the Arizona State Courts Building in Phoenix, 1501 W. Washington Street. Meeting agenda times and details will be posted at least seven days prior to the meeting on the IRC nominations website: https://www.azcourts.gov/jnc/
