KS Fair Maps

The KS redistricting process is moving quickly. Check this post regularly for quick updates about what is happening and how you can get involved.

On Thursday, March 10 the Senate introduced three possible Senate maps - Eisenhower, Liberty 2, and Bluestem (all available here - just scroll down to Senate maps). And as expected, they announced on Friday that the deadline to submit public testimony is Monday at 10:30 am. This means we have just a few days to comment on the maps that will shape our legislative districts for the next 10 years.

On January 7, 2022, KS Fair Maps sent a formal letter to the Kansas Redistricting Advisory Group and Committees on Redistricting as well as an open advisory, expressing our disappointment with the path our state’s redistricting process is currently taking. We called on committee members to:

• Remove the legislative sponsor requirement
• Eliminate physical and technical barriers to participation
• Create and communicate a transparent timeline
• Commit to the inclusion of community input
