Town Hall set Aug. 2 on redistricting proposal on ballot

Voters Not Politicians, a ballot committee to end gerrymandering of voting maps for political gain, will hold a town hall at 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 2, at the Canton Public Library, 1200 S. Canton Center Road, Canton.
The town hall will discuss problems caused by gerrymandering and a proposed solution for Michigan voters that is on the Nov. 6 ballot. Voters will consider an amendment to the state constitution to reform the process for redrawing congressional and state legislative district boundaries through an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission.
A town hall was held July 18 in Hamburg and another is set for Aug. 1 at the Northville District Library.
Using all volunteer petition circulators, the organization collected more than 425,000 signatures in 110 days to place the proposal on the November 2018 state ballot.
