Re-Districting is one of those major things that happens every 10 years as the result of data gathered from the 2020 Census. If you don't already know much about that process going on now, there are a number of posts on this blog for your information - please use the Searchbox to access what's available.
Here in Arizona commissions, ideally 'independent', were established on two levels: one statewide for seats in the State House in the Senate and Legislature and one on a municipal level.
For the purposes of hyper-local reporting, the City of Mesa appointed a five-member commission to redraw the district boundaries for the Mesa City Council based on population shifts.
On both levels tentative timetables to move the process forward have been set - the months of August, September and October are times for the public to get involved in map-drawing, especially for non-quantitative issues for something named COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST.
This post is to alert readers about a series to provide training on how to use Mapping Software.
This is only one of those Mapping Software Training Videos -- gauging from the viewer counts on YouTube and the number of subscribers to the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission's YouTube channel there are very few members of the public taking advantage of what is provided to facilitate input from the public.
