CRC Selects Maps to Send to Legislature

The Citizen Redistricting Committee has selected their maps to send to the Legislature. You can find them here: CRC Adopted Maps. These maps have been sent to Dr. Cottrell at the University of Georgia for evaluation for partisan fairness and other criteria. We expect those results back within 7 days.

Dr. Cottrell to Evaluate CRC Maps

We expect the CRC to meet on October 29th to review the evaluations from Dr. Cottrell at the University of Georgia and to add the CRC explanations for why they adopted each map. Read the full details of what Dr. Cottrell will be evaluating.
