Community Conversations on Redistricting
We want LWVNM members to speak out - see list below
I am attaching a document from the LWVNM initiated Fair Districts for New Mexico that gives an overview

These are some of the questions/issues that will be explored through the community conversations.

what worked and what could have worked better about the Citizen Redistricting Committee process
the relative importance of different redistricting criteria from the US Constitution, NM laws, and the Voting Rights Act
the degree to which the process and outcomes recognized and respected the sovereign rights of the Tribal nations within New Mexico
the importance of communities of interest
if/how community input impacted our Legislature’s decisions
ways to strengthen political redistricting in the future

The first meeting will be mostly reflections on the past. The second meeting will focus more on what’s possible and how to get there before the next Census/redistricting process.

A total of 12 meetings will be held in the late summer of 2022. Each meeting is two hours. There are options to participate in person or via zoom. All meeting dates, locations, times, and zoom links are attached for your reference. The July meetings are also listed below:

There will be a second round starting on August 30^th that will look at what we should do in the future
