Application for the Indiana Citizens Redistricting Commission

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 11:59 PM., JANUARY 4TH, 2021

Structure

The ICRC will be composed of nine members: three Republicans, three Democrats and three members who are neither Republican nor Democrat.

Once selected, the members will select a chairperson who must not be affiliated with either of the major political parties.

The ICRC will begin its work in early January 2021. We do not know what effect COVID-19 or the potential for delayed data from the U.S. Census Bureau may have on the time or work of the ICRC.

More information will be provided by All IN for Democracy as we get it.

A small stipend of $500 will be provided to ICRC members at the end of the project.

Conflicts of Interest that Prohibit Certain Applicants:
