LEGISLATIVE REDISTRICTING will have a major impact on how every citizen and community will be represented at the state and federal levels of government for the next 10 years. The redistricting process involves redrawing the political boundaries for all districts to reflect population shifts.

YOUR RIGHT to fair and effective representation is crucial. This is why the Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment is holding hearings to involve New Yorkers in the process. The Task Force is seeking initial public comments in order to assist us in creating new Congressional, State Senate and Assembly district boundaries.

MEANINGFUL PUBLIC PARTICIPATION BEGINS WITH YOU!

If you wish to speak at a hearing, all testimony will be limited to 5 minutes. Please provide 10 copies of all written testimony. Contact the Task Force at 212–618–1100 to register or ask questions. There will be other hearings around the state.
