2020-2021

Run into also: Redistricting in Ohio later the 2022 census

On Jan. fourteen, 2022, the Ohio Supreme Courtroom ruled against the state's enacted congressional map and ordered the Ohio State Legislature to redraw it.[ten] On Feb. 9, legislative leaders said they would non draw a new map, meaning the Ohio Redistricting Commission assumed responsibility for drawing the map.[eleven]

Initial enacted congressional district map

Governor Mike DeWine (R) signed a new congressional map into law on November 20.[12] Since the map did not meet the required threshold of bipartisan support in the legislature, the map was prepare to concluding for four years.

The Ohio State Senate voted 24-7 to corroborate the map on Nov 16.[13] The Ohio House of Representatives approved the map in a 55-36 vote on November 18.[14]

How does redistricting in Ohio piece of work?

Congressional redistricting procedures in Ohio

On May 8, 2018, voters in Ohio approved a constitutional amendment establishing new procedures for congressional redistricting. Outset with the 2022 redistricting cycle, the following provisions were set to take effect:[15] [16]

  • Post-obit completion of the United States Census, state legislators can prefer a new congressional district map if three-fifths of the legislature's total membership vote to approve, including one-half of the minority political party members. This map would apply for ten years.
  • If the legislature proves unable to adopt a new map, a commission will be formed to adopt a map. That commission will include the governor, land auditor, secretarial assistant of state, and four legislators, two of whom must come from the legislature's minority party. A majority of the commission's members, including two members belonging to the minority political party, must concord on a map. The map would apply for 10 years.
  • If the commission proves unable to adopt a map, state legislators will exist given a second adventure to adopt a map. The map would accept to be approved by iii-fifths of the legislature'southward full membership, including one-third of the minority party's members. The map would employ for 10 years.
  • If the legislature fails a second time, the majority party of the legislature, without support from the minority party, can prefer a map that would utilise for four years.

Maps fatigued by the legislature tin be vetoed past the governor or a veto referendum campaign. The subpoena stipulates that 65 of Ohio's counties cannot be separate during redistricting (xviii can exist dissever in one case, and the state'southward five most populous counties can be dissever twice).[15] [16]

State legislative redistricting procedures in Ohio

On November iii, 2015, voters in Ohio canonical a constitutional subpoena to create a bipartisan country legislative redistricting committee. The commission comprises seven members: the governor, country auditor, secretary of state, 1 person appointed by the speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, one person appointed by the Business firm leader of the largest political party of which the speaker is not a member, one person appointed past the President of the Ohio State Senate, and one person appointed by the Senate leader of the largest political political party of which the president is not a fellow member.[17] [xviii]

Maps drawn by the committee are valid for 10 years if at least two commissioners from each major political party vote for them. Should the maps exist passed forth strictly partisan lines, the maps are valid for four years.[17] [18]

A 6-fellow member informational commission is likewise involved in the congressional and country legislative redistricting processes. The majority leaders of the Ohio Business firm of Representatives and the Ohio Land Senate each appoint three members, "at to the lowest degree 1 of whom must exist from a dissimilar party, and at least i of whom must not be a legislator."[19]

All legislative districts are required to be compact and made of "contiguous territory." As well, the "boundary of each commune [must] be a single nonintersecting continuous line." The amendment forbids district plans from favoring or disfavoring either party.[17] [xviii]
