Big changes are in store for Michigan's redistricting process, which sets the state's voting boundaries for legislative and congressional districts. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will lay out the process for establishing the state's new redistricting commission and the considerations they'll bring to mapmaking. Researchers will review the history and stakes of redistricting for public representation and partisan balance.
