Gainesville Redistricting Workshop: Drawing Democracy with Transparency
December 7, 2021 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
The drawing of electoral districts is often considered one of the least transparent processes in democratic governance. Are you ready to draw a district map for Gainesville City Commission consideration?
The University of Florida’s Bob Graham Center for Public Service and City of Gainesville invite you to participate in an interactive workshop about the redistricting process beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 7 at the University of Florida’s Pugh Hall Ocora.
The City of Gainesville has partnered with UF professors Michael McDonald, Ph.D. and Dan Smith, Ph.D. to provide public access to DistrictBuilder — an easy-to-use, on-line mapping tool.
Learn more about the City of Gainesville’s redistricting process, the guiding principles of representation and explore the map building software on the City of Gainesville website.
So that we may plan for sufficient laptops, please indicate your attendance at this RSVP link.
