Best Practices for Public Engagement

On May 12, 2021, OneVirginia2021 and the League of Women Voters of VA hosted a virtual conference - “A Redistricting Deep Dive.” One section focused on public engagement - the requirements set down in the law, the most effective ways for the public to communicate with the map-drawers and vice versa, and how the map-drawers can efficiently process the feedback from the citizenry. The conversation featured:

Chris DeRosa - Co-Chair, League of Women Voters of VA Redistricting Committee
Nancy Wang - Executive Director, Voters Not Politicians, Michigan
Moon Duchin - Director, Metric Geometry and Gerrymandering Group, Tufts University
