State legislators will hear from the public Thursday evening at Alamance Community College about what people want to see in the process of drawing state and Congressional legislative districts across the state.

Every 10 years states use Census data to redraw state and federal legislative districts, and North Carolina’s legislative districts have led to court battles since the 1990s. Thanks to the most recent court challenges, Alamance County’s congressional districts were last redrawn for the 2020 election.
So people and interest groups all over the country will be watching how the Republican-led General Assembly draws those maps this time around.
The people who will be living and voting in those districts are having their chance to speak directly to legislators about the best way to distribute their votes at 13 public hearings. The one at ACC Thursday is the seventh.
