I’m working to make local voices heard in the redistricting process.

info & create witness slip on ilga.gov
There are 2 steps if you wish to submit written testimony or to speak before the committee (oral testimony):
- Create a witness slip by clicking the info link above for the appropriate hearing, then clicking ‘Create Witness Slips’- fill out the form (use ‘Self’ in the fields for firm/organization unless you are representing a specific organization), and choose ‘oral’ or ‘written’ depending on the testimony you would like to share.
- Email RedistrictingCommittee@hds.ilga.gov – include date & region of hearing – and either your written testimony attached as a pdf file (YourName.pdf), or a brief description of the oral testimony you wish to share and your contact information.
Other Ways to Participate
