ZOOM — The Montana Districting and Apportionment Commission will meet on Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. in a videoconference meeting to discuss possible legislation for the 2023 legislative session.
The draft bills under consideration relate to:
— the data needed to reallocate prisoners from the prison facilities where they are counted for the Census to their last known addresses prior to incarceration; and
— the sizes of election precincts that are established by county officials.
An agenda and copies of the three draft bills are available on the commission’s website.
The agenda includes instructions on how to provide written or verbal public comments on the draft bills. The meeting will be streamed live at the Montana Legislature’s website if you want to watch but do not plan to provide verbal comments.
Please note: The commissioners will not be discussing the draft legislative district maps that were the focus of August and September public hearings. Those discussions will take place starting in late November. Information on the planned November and December work sessions and public hearings is also available on the commission’s website.
