Title of Study (limit 80 characters)

Redistricting in Oregon

Summary of Study (limit 500 characters)

The redistricting of legislative and congressional districts is one of the most important issues for citizens in our representative democracy. How it is accomplished, as indicated by the information in this study, is equally important. In considering the implications of the various ways to redistrict, think carefully about which criteria should be used, who should control the process, and which ways might be used in Oregon to gain the required result of one person, one vote.
