Title

NCSL Conference on Redistricting, Washington, D.C. and Meetings with New Jersey redistribution authorities

Author(s)

Newton-Farrelly, Jenni

Abstract

This Research Note reports on a conference in Washington, DC, on electoral redistribution, and meetings with authorities on the New Jersey redistribution process. The purpose of the study tour was to gather information that will help the South Australian Parliament, the Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission and the parties, in their approach to South Australia’s next redistribution of state electoral districts, due later this year. In particular I was looking at methodology issues (especially what measures are most commonly used for partisan support). The grant will also partially fund a second trip to New Jersey in April which will focus on political approaches to ideal redistribution outcomes.
