Redistricting in America, A State-by-State Analysis

The Rose Institute released a report surveying the legislative and congressional redistricting process of each America’s state.

Minnesota and Wisconsin fall under the “standard legislative process.” District lines are typically drawn in committee, passed by both houses and finally submitted to the governor for veto. If there is a deadlock, the state or federal courts must be petitioned to intervene.

Michigan is one of three states that implement redistricting through the only the legislature. The governor cannot veto redistricting bills.

In Illinois, legislators and the governor have control over the process initially, but if they fail to meet the deadline a group of elected officials and one non-partisan state official take over control.

Ohio gives their control to designated boards made up of elected officials.
