Redistricting

2020 redistricting cycle

See also:Redistricting in Indiana after the 2020 census

The Indiana General Assembly approved new state legislative district maps on October 1, 2021, and Gov.Eric Holcomb (R) signed the new district boundaries into law on October 4, 2021. The Indiana Senate Republican caucus released its first draft of state Senate districts on September 20, 2021, and the Indiana House Republican caucus released its first proposed state House district maps on September 14, 2021. The Indiana state Senate approved final legislative district boundaries by a vote of 36-12, with all votes to approve by Republicans. Eleven Senate Democrats joined State Sen.Ron Grooms (R) in voting against the maps. The Indiana House of Representatives approved final district maps by a vote of 64-25. All votes in favor were by Republicans with 22 Democrats and three Republicans voting against.[7][8]

After the General Assembly approved the maps, House SpeakerTodd Huston said, "We're incredibly grateful for the work of RepresentativeGreg Steuerwald and SenatorEric Koch who tirelessly and thoughtfully led the way on drawing these maps. Redistricting is a complex and important process that impacts all Hoosiers. We're thankful for the hundreds of constituents who shared their feedback along the way, and I'm confident we delivered fair maps that ensure every Hoosier vote counts."[9]

The full legislative history of Indiana's redistricting proposals, including House and Senate committee reports and proposed amendments, can befound here at the Indiana General Assembly's website. These maps took effect for Indiana's 2022 legislative elections.[10]

How does redistricting in Indiana work? In Indiana, thestate legislature is responsible for drawing both congressional and state legislative district lines. The legislature must approve a redistricting plan by the close of the first legislative session occurring after completion of the United States Census. Thegovernor may veto the lines drawn by the state legislature.[11][12]

In the event that both chambers of the state legislature do not approve a congressional redistricting plan, abackup commission must draw the lines. The commission comprises the following members:[12]

  1. Speaker of theHouse
  2. President Pro Tempore of theSenate
  3. Chair of theElections Committee, Indiana State Senate
  4. Chair of theElections and Apportionment Committee, Indiana House of Representatives
  5. A gubernatorial appointment

TheIndiana Constitution mandates that state legislative districts be contiguous. There are no such requirements for congressional district lines.[11]
