Ohio Redistricting Commission

The Ohio Redistricting Commission met again on Sunday, but recessed without approving a new set of legislative maps.

Independent mapmakers are working on the fourth set of maps for Ohio House and Senate districts

While other groups say they'll continue to fight, the executive director of the League of Women Voters says there isn't enough time in this year's election calendar to win.

The bipartisan team of mapmakers are drawing new district lines for Ohio House and Ohio Senate maps in front of cameras airing a constant live stream.

The two redistricting experts, hired by the state to draw new House and Senate district maps, ran into start-up issues and some disagreements over the course of their first day of mapmaking.

Can the Ohio Redistricting Commission—with some outside help—finally come up with a state district map that the Ohio Supreme Court will approve? In this week's episode of Snollygoster, Ohio's politics podcast from WOSU, hosts Steve Brown and Ann Fisher discuss the odds.

Because there are no valid maps for state legislative districts, those races won't appear on the ballot unless a federal court gets involved almost immediately.

Independent mapmakers have been hired to create a new set of maps this time.

The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected legislative maps three times. With weeks to go until the primary, voters don't know who their candidates are and candidates don't know where their districts are.

The commission met Saturday to walk through what the mapmaking process should look like in order to adopt House and Senate district maps that are deemed constitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court.
