1. Why do we have a Redistricting Commission?
• This is the 2nd time Arizona's districts will be redrawn by the Arizona
Independent Redistricting Commission.
• In 2000 Arizona voters approved Proposition 106 they created the
Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission and established a
process and criteria for drawing new district lines.
• The commission is made up of two Democrats, two Republicans and
an independent Chair elected by the other commissioners. The fifth
member shall not be registered with any party already represented on
the Commission.
• The 2011 AIRC members are:
Scott
Freeman,
Vice Chair
Jose
Herrera,
Vice Chair
Colleen
Mathis,

Linda

Richard

2. What is Redistricting?
•
Redistricting is the process of redrawing congressional and
legislative district lines.
3. What is the difference between
redistricting and reapportionment?
• The two terms are often used interchangeably. Technically,
there is a difference.
• Reapportionment is the process of allocating congressional
districts among the states based on changes in population.
– Because of population growth over the last decade, Arizona was
allocated an additional congressional district after the 2010
census, going from eight to nine districts.
• Redistricting is the process of drawing the actual boundaries of
the districts.

6. The AZ Redistricting Process
• Start with a Grid Map
• In some states, the previous plans are used as the
starting point for the new plans. That is not the case in
AZ. In AZ, the starting point is the Grid Map per Prop.
106
The commencement of the mapping process for both the
Congressional and Legislative districts shall be the creation
of equal population in a grid-like pattern across the state.
• The initial grid map will likely only meet criteria B and C
– B: Equal Population
– C: Compact and Contiguous
