The first meeting to redraw Ohio’s congressional and legislative districts is set for Friday. A commission will convene…to begin the new redistricting process, before the mid-September deadline to complete the new maps. The data Ohio is receiving, around Aug. 16th…will include counts of population by race, Hispanic origin, voting age and housing occupancy status. The data will be used for drawing voting districts for Congress and state legislatures. The release of the data by the Census Bureau will happen more than four months after the April 1st date, on which it normally arrives…due to the impact of the coronavirus.
