Redistricting
Michigan’s legislature has until November 1, 2011 to adopt a redistricting plan. Besides following the Voting Rights Act, Michigan is mandated by state public act 463 to ensure that districts are contiguous, have a population not exceeding 105% and not less than 95% of the ideal district size and preserve county, city and township lines as much as possible. Michigan’s counties each have 60 days after receiving Census data to adopt their redistricting plans. County redistricting committees are comprised of the county clerk, prosecuting attorney, treasurer, and county chairs of the two major political parties.
