The House Committee on Redistricting and the Senate Committee on Redistricting will jointly hold a listening tour consisting of 14 town hall meetings across the state next week to receive public comments concerning the redistricting process, which takes place every decade in accordance with the U.S. Census.
In south-central Kansas, the tour will stop at two locations on Wednesday, Aug. 11. The first will begin at 9 a.m. at Hutchinson Community College’s Stringer Fine Arts Center, in the Warner Recital Hall. The second stop will be at Wichita State University’s Metropolitan Complex, starting at 1:30 p.m.
Any individual wishing to present testimony should follow the instructions on the Kansas Legislative Research Department (KLRD) Redistricting webpage, which may be accessed at www.kslegresearch.org/KLRD-web/Redistricting.html. Information on how to stream each meeting online will be posted on the KLRD webpage once available.
