Since it approved the initial maps Monday for Arizona’s redistricting process, the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission has announced public hearing sessions where Arizonans can view the maps and make comments.
People attending one of the in-person sessions at the main and satellite locations will have the opportunity to speak and give public comments on the grid maps. They can also complete their mapping comments online, before the public meetings, at redistricting-irc-az.hub.arcgis.com.
There will be an opportunity to observe each meeting on live streaming and that information will be listed on the website irc.az.gov.
