*April 10* Public Hearings Statewide on Once-in-a-Decade Redistricting
Learn More & Speak Up to Ensure Equitable Representation
Redistricting is the once-a-decade process of redrawing the U.S. House of Representatives (Congressional) and Oregon State Senate and State House of Representatives (Legislative) district boundaries to account for changes in population.
Oregon’s population growth makes it likely to receive an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which would mean carving the state into six districts, rather than five. It’s been 40 years since Oregon last got an additional congressional seat, making redistricting especially important this year.
The House and Senate Committees on Redistricting is hosting a series of virtual public meetings to hear from Oregonians about their communities to inform their work on redrawing legislative districts.
The next public meetings are scheduled for April 10:
April 10, 9:00am: District 3
April 10, 12:00pm: District 4
April 10, 3:00pm: District 5
