An Example of Esri Redistricting
Utah Adds Citizen Input
Utah was a pioneer in use of online applications to clear up the redistricting process. After each census, U.S. states must potentially redraw their congressional districts. To maintain a transparent approach to the redistricting process, Utah used the Esri Redistricting web-based solution.
This allowed citizens to get involved in the process, create, share and discuss options with the committee. And although disagreements can’t always be avoided, this technology allowed for clear and concise public access to Utah’s redistricting process.
“The public participation that Utah received was really beneficial to the overall redistricting process. I think the public and the media understood the problem better after using the Esri tool. It eliminated some criticism that was unfounded.” – Jerry Howe, Managing Policy Analyst, State of Utah Legislature.
