DeWine Gives No Word on When Redistricting Commission Will Meet

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine plans to convene the Ohio Redistricting Commission, but a formal announcement has not been made.

With a September 31 deadline approaching for the commission to draw new congressional districts, Democrats are urging the meeting to take place sooner rather than later.

According to DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney, the governor intends for the commission to meet, but has not publicly disclosed when it will be.

Democrat leaders are calling for the meeting to occur within the next seven days, allowing the commission to pass new, bipartisan maps.

“It was disappointing to see Republicans shirk their constitutional duty to even attempt to pass a bipartisan map in the month of September, and it now appears Gov. DeWine is following suit,”

The Republican-led General Assembly failed to pass bipartisan maps by the end of September, shifting the process to the commission, which is also majority Republican.
