Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission Application Window Closes

Jun 05, 2020

After a nine-month application window, June 1 marked the final day that residents could apply to participate in the new Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. As of Monday, the Michigan Department of State (MDOS) has processed 6,264 completed and notarized applications. The application period began in October of last year with the launch of the online application portal. Followed by a random mailing of 250,000 applications on December 30, 2019.

MDOS will process the final applications before the random selection of 200 semi-finalists to be conducted by an independent accounting firm. The applications of the semi-finalists will be posted online and delivered to legislative leaders by the end of June, who may strike up to 20 applications per the Michigan Constitution. The final selection for commissioners will be held in August.
