Every ten years after the U.S. Census is complete, governments across the country update their election districts to match the new population data. In Anchorage, the process is called Reapportionment and is led by a Reapportionment Committee, which is charged with reviewing the State final redistricting plan, taking public input, and developing proposed maps for the Anchorage Assembly to consider for adoption to realign the boundaries of the six Assembly Election Districts to ensure fair and equal representation.
There are ten draft maps for the public to review - four submitted by the Reapportionment contractor and six submitted by community members. The Reapportionment committee is currently reviewing the maps and determining next steps. Once the committee submits its recommendation to the Assembly, there will be two public hearings for community members to provide feedback.
To learn more and review the calendar for public hearings, visit the Reapportionment Committee.
