States must redraw their congressional and legislative maps every ten years. The Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) was established by voters by the passage of Proposition106 in 2000. The maps drawn by this Commission will set the course for the next ten years of Arizona’s elections.
Prior to 2000, Arizona’s maps were redrawn by the Arizona legislature, in a highly politicized process that was largely conducted outside of the public’s view. By providing opportunity for [county] residents to participate and gathering their input directly, this commission is upholding a key hallmark of Arizona’s independent redistricting process.
