House State and Federal Redistricting Committee appointed

OKLAHOMA CITY – The House State and Federal Redistricting Committee was appointed Friday to continue the House’s public-focused redistricting process throughout the 2021 legislative session.

House Speaker Charles McCall appointed the 29-member bipartisan committee to establish the formal policies and protocols for House redistricting. After the delivery of final U.S. Census data, the committee will advance legislation containing new districts to the full House for consideration.

“The unprecedented public involvement and outreach completed to date will continue to be the basis of House redistricting going forward,” said McCall, R-Atoka.

The standing committee will base its work on public input gathered by the House’s eight regional redistricting subcommittees, which conducted dozens of town halls across the state to hear from citizens about the composition of districts for the next decade. In a historic move, every House member was appointed to a regional subcommittee to ensure total representation of the full state in the redistricting process.

The State and Federal Redistricting Committee will hold its first meeting next week to adopt policies, protocols and a public map submission process.

“The standing committee’s first order of business is setting a public map submission process. As has been the case from the beginning, public input continues to be the priority,” said Rep. Ryan Martinez, R-Edmond, chairman of the House State and Federal Redistricting Committee. “All Oklahomans have been represented in the process to date, and the geographic and bipartisan diversity of membership on this committee will ensure that standard continues.”

Every ten years, the Oklahoma Constitution requires each legislative chamber to redraw its own districts and congressional districts following the release of decennial U.S. Census data.

The House State and Federal Redistricting Committee’s membership matches the partisan composition of the full House and includes the chairs and vice chairs of each regional subcommittee.
